Synopsis

A Journey to the Center of the Earth is a classic 1864 science fiction novel by Jules Verne, and the third book in the Extraordinary Voyages Series. The story involves a German professor (Otto Lidenbrock in the original French, Professor Von Hardwigg in the most common English translation) who believes there are volcanic tubes going toward the center of the Earth. He, his nephew Axel (Harry), and their guide Hans encounter many adventures, including prehistoric animals and natural hazards, eventually coming to the surface again in southern Italy.
