Twenty Thousand Million Leagues Under the Sea:
20,000 Leagues under the Sea:
Other (please specify):
:The 1954 film is "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea". Amazon shows book editions variously with "20,000" and "Twenty thousand" (and a couple with "20000") but almost always singular "sea". I think I prefer a spelled-out title... maybe. Of course, the pedant I am, I'd prefer Vingt mille lieues sous les mers... --Brion
Well, we put the first Harry Potter book under its real (i.e., UK title) "philosopher's stone" vs. "sorcerer's stone". But for Verne's classic sub story, which surely served as inspiration for The Hunt for Red October I'd like to see something that does it justice. And there are too many redirect pages.
I vote for either "Twenty Thousand" or "20,000", with the alternate title redirecting to the main title. --Ed Poor
: Mais on n'ecrit pas les titres (ou les articles) en français :-). I think that "20,000" and "sea" are preferable, former because it's shorter (I like shorter titles), the latter because it's the common English rendition. --Uri
::Oui oui, mais quel dommage! Le titre original, ce devrait être disponible comme redirect je pense, mais bien sur pas comme le titre de l'article meme. "Sea" is definitely preferred in the English forms. I want to lean towards the full words "Twenty Thousand" on principle, but I think the "20,000" is more likely to crop up. --Brion
::: Bien sûr, on va laisser le nom original comme un redirect! Considering the fact that a certain part of the people on the Internet would have difficulty spelling out "twenty thousand", I do prefer the numerical title. As to the general case, I haven't made up my mind (although 1001 Arabian Nights looks better to me than A Thousand an One Arabic Nights. Then of course there's "Alf Layla wa-Layla"/ألف ليلة وليلة). --Uri
::::If I may...it doesn't matter what any of us thinks what looks/sounds/spells/writes better/easier/etc, all that matters is that the translation remains true (as close to as possible) to the original, and of course, we must also take in consideration to adapt the grammar to the language in which the title is translated into (whatever that may be), but at the same time to keep the original meaning.Jules Verne titled his novel "Vingt Mille Lieues sous les mers", which translates into English as "Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea", not "20,000"/"20000", and definitely not "seas" nor "thousands", because English grammar dictates in this context "sea" to be the proper term.Similarly, this goes for "mille", not "milliers".Of course, one [myself, for example ;-)] could argue that "beneath" would be a better choice than "under", but that's only my personal opinion, and obviously that wasn't the translator's choice, which leads me to draw the conclusion that professional translators chose "under" as the best alternative for this context.HTH [hope this helps]All the best,MDGx☹☺ 17:43, 7 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Responding to MDGx, I agree that what matters is that the translation remains true. Toward this end, "Vingt Mille Lieues sous les mers" translates differently than you have claimed. The phrase "les mers" is a plural. If a singular "sea" was desired, the phrase would be "la mer". So, at the very least, the translation should end with "the Seas". As for the text of "Twenty Thousand" or "20,000" or "20000", they all mean the same thing. It doesn't make any sense to say 'not "20,000"/"20000"'. To stay true to the translation, I would posit that the best translation is "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas". I won't quibble with the argument of "beneath" being chosen over "under". That's an acceptable selection. 128.219.49.8 (talk) 18:04, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

message: "and this distance is a measure of length, not depth" -feet are more usual for depth, I believe- but as it is written this funny to me any measure of length is of course valid in the three dimensions or maybe I've been transferred to some parallel world ?
:There is no way that 20,000 leagues (or even miles) can refer to the *depth* the Nautilus goes to. It refers to the distance the craft travels while submerged. I believe Verne clears this up in the book where a character remarks that he has been travelling 20,000 leagues while on the vessel. The Land 19:44, 16 Sep 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: That's correct. Also, "League" ("Lieues") were oldish measuring units by that time already; I suspect that they are used because they resonate with old childrens tales ("les Bottes de sept Lieues" for instance). A likely traditional depth measure unit would be "brasse" (not foot "pied"). Rama 08:36, 22 May 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Something to add 

message: The article mentions "The story was written before modern sea-going submarines were a reality..." however near the end it adds, "Verne borrowed the name "Nautilus" from one of the earliest successful submarines, built in 1800 by Robert Fulton".
I realize it says "modern" sea-going submarines but isn't that a given? Since submarines did exist in some form, shouldn't the first sentence be dropped? Verne didn't invent the concept of a submarine.
:I believe the term "sea-going" is relevant. The original nautilus could dive several metres and sink ships, but it was not an ocean-going vessel and could not travel any appreciable distance. The concept of an underwater ship is original.Thebunsk 05:32, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Contradiction 

message: Please explain what "purists prefer 20,000 Miles Under the Sea" is supposed to mean here; one would expect the opposite, that purists prefer a title closer to the original:
The word leagues in the English title is a literal translation of lieues, but purists prefer 20,000 Miles Under the Sea whereas twenty thousand lieues marine are 60,000 nautical miles. Using the metric System with SI-units Jules Verne's book would be titled "111,120 km Under the Seas" today. --Espoo 07:36, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, I have tried to fix this. -- dwxyzq|T 21:34, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

text: In my old non-English edition roughly from the seventies a league is defined to be 2.36 miles, IIRC, and the book's title can be translated as "40,000 miles under the sea". In the book the estimate of about 47,000 miles traveled is given.
Not to blow smoke but the conversion of League's to miles depends on which country's Leagues you are using. ie spain, france ect and what time period you are using...I did at one point track down what the then period French League to mile conversion was but ill have to look to find it again(CaptianNemo (talk) 04:21, 29 December 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Explanation necessary 

message: I have removed this paragraph:
Whether because he was unaware of the phenomenon, or simply chose to exclude it from his narrative, the fictional universe of Verne's novel does not feature water pressure increasing with depth, as it does in the real world . His "Nautilus" has no limitation in the depths it can reach, and in one episode it sets down on the very deepest bottom of the Atlantic, at which point Captain Nemo and Professor Aronnax emerge, wearing diving suits, and walk for miles along the sea bottom to view the ruins of Atlantis. In reality, of course, the overwhelming water pressure at that depth would crush an unprotected human.
based on the following:
#unaware of the phenomenon? from chapter 4: "Precisely, Ned. So at thirty–two feet beneath the surface of the sea, you'll undergo a pressure of 17,568 kilograms; at 320 feet, or ten times greater pressure, it's 175,680 kilograms; at 3,200 feet, or 100 times greater pressure, it's 1,756,800 kilograms; finally, at 32,000 feet, or 1,000 times greater pressure, it's 17,568,000 kilograms; in other words, you'd be squashed as flat as if you'd just been yanked from between the plates of a hydraulic press!" Verne seems quite aware of it.
#The nautilus goes to a depth of 16000m whereby Nemo says"Let's go back up, professor. We mustn't push our luck and expose the Nautilus too long to these pressures." (ch11) This shows the nautilus had limitations.
#They set the nautilus down at 300m for the walk to atlantis and spend their time climbing upwards (ch9); today scuba divers have been able to reach this range from the surface so this can not be a depth that would crush an unprotected human.
This makes me honestly wonder if I have read the same book as the author of this paragraph, or if this is some kind of insidious vandalism?
with that said something should probably be written showing how good of a grasp Verne had on the power of water pressure; although I do not know if his awareness of it is actually anything noteworthy? -- dwxyzq|T 21:34, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

message: Every English translation I've found gives the species of the cephalopods that attack the Nautilis as being cuttlefish, and not squid. While reading the original text to check out the recent edit that put "kraken" into the synopsis, I found that the French word used is calmar, or squid, rather than seiche "cuttlefish". Does anyone know anything about the history of this replacement? Also, barring any further knowledge of the translation, which word (squid, keeping with the original sense, or cuttlefish, keeping with the translations) would be in keeping with Wikipedia's style?

replies: text: According to the Miller/Walter translation (1993), Verne used "poulpe," "calmar" (squid) and "kraken," to describe the creatures, and "poulpe" is used as a synonym for octopus ("pieuvre") only in 20th century French, while in Verne's day "poulpe" was a more generic word for any many-armed creature. 130.65.109.54 (talk) 23:39, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

I'm from a country that uses the metric system and, therefore accustomed to the metric system. I did not know, however, that 80 000km is twice around the Earth. That's a rather bold assumption to make, that anyone who's accustomed to metric, will know that 80 000km is twice around the Earth.--Jayb485 (talk) 20:48, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

The edition I read instead goes with:
"To paint such pictures, one must have the pen of the most illustrious of our poets, the author of The Toilers of the Deep." (260)

This review is from: 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (Audible Audio Edition)
My twelve year old son and I enjoyed listening to this unabridged version. The speaker is excellent with an enjoyable voice. The many scientific words and French names are clearly pronounced in their correct form. I felt the voice of the speaker matched what seemed appropriate for the first person storytelling of Professor Aronnax.
