Overview

A pioneer in the genre of science fiction writing, Jules Verne possessed an uncanny ability to imagine--often with startling accuracy — the future possibilities of science. This classic 1864 novel involves German professor Otto Lidenbrock who believes there are volcanic tubes going toward the center of the Earth. He, his nephew Axel, and their guide Hans descend into an Icelandic volcano and encounter many adventures, including prehistoric animals and natural hazards. In Journey to the Center of the Earth, Verne has interwoven a judicious combination of severe scientific truth with a charming exercise of playful imagination.
