The Journey to the Centre of the Earth
By-Jules Verne
Date of publication: 1864
The story involves a professor who leads his nephew and hired guide down
a volcano in Iceland to the "center of the Earth". They encounter many
adventures, including prehistoric animals and natural hazards,
eventually coming to the surface again in southern Italy. From a
scientific point of view, this story has not aged quite as well as other
Verne stories, since most of his ideas about what the interior of the
Earth contains have since been proven wrong. However, a redeeming point
to the story is Verne's own belief, told within the novel from the
viewpoint of a character, that the inside of the Earth does indeed
differ from that which the characters encounter
