AAP KYU HO AISE KYU NAHI BATATE HO, KYU APNI TAKLIF CHUPATE HO, MAANA HUM AAPKE APNE NAHI HAI, TO FIR KYU MUJHE APNA DOST BULATE HO,

Verne's timeless classic. Takes ones imagination away on a grand toure by the most clear discribtive writing. Adventure, seamanship, romance and most jovial eccentricity imaginable in all his works; this being no exception.

Great description of the huge ship and the operation of it.
