Creative background
The brutal suppression of the Polish people's uprising against the tsarist dictatorship was a factor that led to Verne's creation of "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" fuse. In the novel, he created Captain Nemo, a tall figure who opposed the tsarist autocratic rule, and gave him a strong sense of social responsibility and humanitarian spirit to express his criticism of reality.
At the beginning of writing the novel, there was a dispute between Verne and his publisher Piere-Jules Hetzel over the characteristics of the protagonist Nemo, the captain of the Nautilus. Herzel thought it appropriate to portray Nemo as a sworn enemy of the slave trade, providing a clear and ideal justification for his ruthless attacks on certain ships at sea.
But Verne wanted Nemo to be a Pole who would unforgivingly direct his hatred towards the Russian Czar (who had bloody suppressed a Polish uprising). But Herzer worried that he might cause a diplomatic rift and have the book banned in the lucrative Russian market.
In the end, the author and publisher gradually came to terms with each other. They believed that Nemo's true motivations should be made ambiguous to be attractive, and that Nemo should be roughly positioned as a champion of freedom and a revenge against oppression. who. In "The Mysterious Island", it was revealed that he was the prince of Dhaka, India.
