Synopsis

A sixteenth-century cryptogram spurs modern geologist Otto Liedenbrock to embark on the most remarkable human quest ever taken. With his nephew and guide, he leads the descent from a dormant Icelandic volcano into the unexplored realm beneath their feet. There, a vast subterranean ocean, prehistoric creatures, and natural phenomena are but a few of the wonders hidden from all but the boldest eyes.

Journey to the Center of the Earth epitomizes the subterranean fiction genre. Author Jules Verne leads readers deep below the world’s surface to the core of his inventive, visionary mind.

À propos de l'auteur

Jules Verne (1828–1905) was a French author best known for his tales of exploration, including Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, Journey to the Center of the Earth, Around the World in Eighty Days, The Mysterious Island, and From the Earth to the Moon. A true visionary, Verne foresaw the skyscraper, the submarine, and the airplane, among many other inventions. Today he is regarded as one of the fathers of science fiction.

Frederick Amadeus Malleson (1819–1897) was a clergyman at the church of Broughton-in-Furness in Lancashire. In 1877, he translated Journey to the Center of the Earth for London publisher Ward, Lock & Co. Ltd. This work is now widely regarded as the book’s foremost translation.
