Answer 1

Captain Nemo is a character in the book "20000 Leagues UNder the Sea" by Jules Verne. He is fiction.

Answer 2

Captain Nemo is a fictional character featured in Jules Verne's novels Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea (1870) and The Mysterious Island (1874). "Nemo" is Latin for "no-one". This name is aptly chosen. Nemo is a mysterious figure, about whom all we know is that he identifies with the oppressed, and that he has apparently lost his wife and children. He is a scientific genius who roams the depths of the sea in his submarine, the Nautilus. In Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea he states that the laws of the world on the surface do not apply to him any longer, and that he has fled to the sea to escape the barbarism of the human race, with its wars and oppression.

The author, the Frenchman Jules Verne, is one of the first science fiction writers.

Answer 3

He lived on the 'Mysterious Island', and is fictional. In the book 'The Mysterious Island' by Jules Verne, Nemo stationed his submarine underground in a water-filled cavern underneath this island, and lived there for some time, before he blew the place up.

However, they only get to that part at the very, very end of the book. The entire rest of it is about a bunch of (I think ex-convicts) people who get stranded on the island and details every single little thing that they did to survive.

That book was so boring I won't touch it with a ten-foot pole... but you're certainly welcome to try it out...

Answer 4

Fictional. Character in Jules Verne book.
