Description
Jules 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. Originally published in 1864, this classic has wowed generations of readers with its portrayal of an imaginary odyssey into a subterranean wonderland. When Axel deciphers an old parchment describing a secret passage through a volcano to the centre of the earth, nothing will stop his eccentric Uncle Lidenbrock from setting out at once. With silent Hans as their guide, the two men encounter natural hazards, prehistoric beasts and other curiosities on their perilous, astonishing, terrifying trek through the underworld.
