The novel is set in the mid-19th century, during a time when the world was still largely unexplored, and the oceans were a source of great fascination and mystery. Verne's vivid descriptions of marine life and the underwater world are truly awe-inspiring, and his detailed scientific knowledge adds a sense of realism to the story.
