Chapter X: The Man of the Seas An excerpt from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea By Jules Verne It was a library. High pieces of furniture, of black violet ebony decorated with brass, supported upon their wide shelves a great number of books uniformly bound. They followed the shape of the room, terminating at the lower part in huge divans, covered with brown leather, which were curved, to afford the greatest comfort. Light movable desks, made to slide in and out at will, allowed one to rest one's book while reading. In the center stood an immense table, covered with booklets, amongst which newspapers, already of old date. The electric light flooded everything, it was shed from four unpolished globes half sunk in the volutes of the ceiling. I looked with real admiration at this room, so ingeniously fitted up, and I could scarcely believe my eyes. Indeed, the library was comfortable and well- equipped.
