Journey to a prehistoric world at the centre of the Earth in this science fiction classic by Jules Verne.

When Axel's uncle, Professor Liedenbrock, finds a coded journal describing a path into the centre of the Earth, Axel hopes he'll never be able to decipher it

because once the professor sets his mind to something, he'll insist on carrying it out no matter the danger or difficulty. But when Axel himself ends up cracking the journal's code, curiosity gets the better of him, and before he knows it, he and his uncle head to Iceland to find this secret route to unexplored territory.

After being joined by a local guide, Hans, the group descends into a volcano, where Axel is convinced they'll find nothing noteworthy and face nearly certain death. Instead, what awaits is more incredible than any of the travellers could have anticipated.

Jules Verne (18281905) was a French novelist, poet, and playwright. At the age of nineteen, Verne was sent to study law in Paris but instead developed a love of theater. Verne's first novel, Five Weeks in a Balloon, was published in 1863. This was quickly followed by his most famous works, Journey to the Center of the Earth, Around the World in Eighty Days, and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.
