About this book

A young Norwegian student falls through a hole in the earth into a subterranean world of walking, talking trees and encounters a series of strange societies that satirize the customs, politics, and follies of his own age. Holberg's imaginative fantasy, in the tradition of Gulliver's Travels, uses its underground journey to poke fun at human vanity, intolerance, and pretension. Witty, inventive, and philosophical, it is a landmark of Scandinavian literature and early science-fiction satire. A delightful and thought-provoking adventure, A Journey to the World Under-Ground blends fantasy, comedy, and sharp social criticism in one of the most original imaginative works of the eighteenth century.
