Vingt mille lieues sous les mers est le chef-d`œuvre de Jules Verne: mieux qu`un récit de voyage, mieux qu`un roman d`aventures géographiques et scientifiques, mieux qu`une simple histoire de vengeance. Ou plutôt, tout cela ensemble, mais sublimé. Le poème de la mer, le drame de la révolte absolue, la dernière des grandes légendes romantiques, à jamais engloutie, à jamais conservée dans le silence des mers profondes.

During his year of exploration, Patrick meets a rich cast of characters. Among them is a young local wine-maker called Virgile, who offers to initiate Patrick into the mysteries of each season`s work in the fields and in the cellar. Virgile is passionately committed to perfection, though he operates on a shoestring. At the other extreme is Manu, Patrick`s dipsomaniac neighbour, a die-hard traditionalist producing a private wine lake of unspeakable rouge. With Manu as his self-appointed guide, Patrick embarks on a tour of the region`s wine makers, a succession of lively encounters with growers as varied as the wines themselves. Interwoven are digressions into the history of the region and its wine-making, right back to the earliest...
