A Journey to the Centre of the Earth
Following a coded message in an ancient manuscript, an eccentric German professor, his reluctant nephew, and a stoic guide descend into the crater of an Icelandic volcano in search of a passage to the earth’s core. Their journey leads through vast underground caverns, a subterranean sea, prehistoric monsters, and wonders no human has seen. Verne blends the science of his day with irrepressible imagination to create one of the founding works of science fiction. Thrilling and endlessly inventive, it captures the Victorian hunger for discovery and remains one of the great adventures in all of literature.
