Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea
Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas is a novel written by French author Jules Verne in the 19th century, published from 1869 to 1871. One of its central characters was Captain Nemo.

After Tom Paris's father read this novel to him, he became obsessed with stories about the ocean. He re-read this novel a self-claimed "20,000 times", and it fueled many childhood fantasies about sea travels, including a wish to join the Federation Naval Patrol. Paris was reminded of this novel when he first saw The Waters in 2375. ()
