Stepping Stones Classics - 시대를 초월한 CLASSIC 문학작품을 영어로 읽으세요

<고전백서>를 기억하십니까? 미국에서는 20세기 중반 학생들이 반드시 읽어야 하는 고전 100권을 선정하여 학교 커리큘럽으로 가르쳤습니다. 최근 미국에서는 읽기 교육이 강조되면서, 고전을 읽은 어린이들만이 미래를 책임질 수 있다고 보고, 원본이 가진 우수한 문학적 가치의 손상 없이 문체와 단어를 새로 다듬은 아동용 고전을 졸업 때 까지 반드시 읽도록 하고 있습니다. 우리 아이들도 이제 미국 사립학교에서 21세기의 <고전백서>로 추천한 Stepping Stones Classics로 세계 문학을 섭렵하며 영어를 동시에 향상시킬 수 있게 되었습니다.

An American frigate, tracking down a ship-sinking monster, faces not a living creature but an incredible invention -- a fantastic submarine commanded by the mysterious Captain Nemo. Suddenly a devastating explosion leaves just three survivors, who find themselves prisoners inside Nemo's death ship on an underwater odyssey around the world from the pearl-laden waters of Ceylon to the icy dangers of the South Pole . . .as Captain Nemo, one of the greatest villians ever created, takes his revenge on all society.More than a marvelously thrilling drama, this classic novel, written in 1870, foretells with uncanny accuracy the inventions and advanced technology of the twentieth century and has become a literary stepping-stone for generations of science fiction writers.
