Journey to the Center of the Earth

A dormant volcano becomes the gateway to a world no one has ever seen. Professor Lidenbrock, his reluctant nephew Axel and their steady guide Hans descend deep beneath the Earth's surface, where prehistoric life, vast underground seas and extraordinary geological formations await. What starts as a scientific expedition soon turns into a race against time and the forces of nature itself. First published in 1864, this is one of the foundational works of science fiction, grounded in real scientific ideas of its time yet driven by pure imagination and the pull of the unknown.
