Description
“We are about to begin an extraordinary journey,” said Professor Lidenbrock, “nothing less than an expedition to the centre of the earth!” With those words the professor, his nephew Axel and their guide Hans climbed down into an extinct volcano crater, and began an amazing subterranean odyssey. Living examples of extinct monsters, an underground ocean and a terrifying journey on the back of an erupting volcano are all part of Jules Verne’s most extraordinary epic of science fiction.
An adventurous geology professor chances upon a manuscript in which a 16th-century explorer claims to have found a route to the earth’s core. Professor Lidenbrock can’t resist the opportunity to investigate, and with his nephew Axel, he sets off across Iceland in the company of Hans Bjelke, a native guide.
The expedition descends into an extinct volcano toward a sunless sea, where they encounter a subterranean world of luminous rocks, antediluvian forests, and fantastic marine life — a living past that holds the secrets to the origins of human existence.
