The intrepid Professor Lindenbrock embarks upon the strangest
expedition of the nineteenth century: a journey down an extinct
Icelandic volcano to the Earth's very core. In his quest to
penetrate the planet's primordial secrets, the geologist--together
with his quaking nephew Axel and their devoted guide,
Hans--discovers an astonishing subterranean menagerie of
prehistoric proportions. Verne's imaginative tale is at once the
ultimate science fiction adventure and a reflection on the
perfectibility of human understanding and the psychology of the
questor. As David Brin notes in his Introduction, though Verne
never knew the term "science fiction," Journey to the Centre of the
Earth is "inarguably one of the wellsprings from which it all
began."
