Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Journey to the Center of the Earth also translated with the variant titles A Journey to the Centre of the Earth and A Journey to the Interior of the Earth), is a classic science fiction novel by Jules Verne. It was first published in 1864, then reissued in 1867 with a moderately revised and expanded text. Professor Otto Lidenbrock is the tale's central figure, an eccentric German scientist who believes there are volcanic tubes that reach to the very center of the Earth. He, his nephew Axel, and their Icelandic guide Hans rappel into Iceland's celebrated inactive volcano Snæfellsjökull, then contend with many dangers, including cave-ins, subpolar tornadoes, an underground ocean, and living prehistoric monsters from the Mesozoic and Cenozoic eras. (The 1867 revised text inserted additional prehistoric material in Chaps. 37-39.) Eventually the three explorers are spewed back to the surface by an active volcano, Stromboli, in southern Italy.The category of subterranean fiction existed well before Verne. However, his novel's distinction lay in its well-researched Victorian science and its inventive contribution to the science-fiction subgenre of time travel--Verne's innovation was the concept of a prehistoric realm still existing in the present world. Not surpisingly, Journey inspired many later authors. For example, Edgar Rice Burroughs explicitly acknowledged Verne's influence on his own Pellucidar series.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Axel Lidenbrock, the teenage narrator of the story, lives in Hamburg, Germany, with his uncle, Professor Otto Lidenbrock, an impetuous and single-minded professor of geology. The story, set in May 1863, opens as the latter rushes home to show Axel his latest acquisition: a runic manuscript by the renowned Icelandic historian Snorri Sturluson. They find hidden within its pages a separate note which, when translated into Latin and read backward, appears to be the Icelandic alchemist Arne Saknussemm's record of a passage leading to the centre of the Earth in a crater of Snaefell, a dormant volcano in Iceland. The crater containing the passage, however, is only revealed by shadows at noon during the last few days of June, just a month away. Otto rushes off to the area, dragging a very reluctant, pessimistic, and skeptical Axel with him.They eventually reach Reykjavík, where they hire the Icelandic eider hunter Hans Bjelke to guide them on the long journey to the volcano. After an arduous climb to Snaefell's summit, the trio locates the correct crater, and they descend and find the passage. When they reach a fork, Otto chooses the eastern tunnel, but after three days they enter a cavern in which the history of the Carboniferous Period is visible, and Otto realizes that he was mistaken. They return and head down the other tunnel. The adventurers exhaust their water supplies, but Hans locates a subterranean river, and they follow that thereafter. One day Axel takes a wrong turn and gets lost, but eventually an acoustic phenomenon allows him to speak to Otto and Hans, and he is able to rejoin them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jules Verne's classic, Journey to the Center of the Earth, written in 1864, has been hailed as both an inspiring work of science fiction as well as an entertaining, action-adventure story that has delighted readers for over 150 years.The story centers on three men: German professor Otto Lidenbrock, a respected mineralogist; Axel Lidenbrock, Otto's orphaned nephew; and Hans Bjelke, an Icelandic duck hunter who speaks Danish, and their adventures as they seek a hidden passage they believe will take them to the center of the Earth.The story begins with Otto discovering a coded note hidden within the pages of a recently purchased runic manuscript. The manuscript is an Icelandic tale called, "Heimskringla." Otto translates the bizarre code into Latin letters, but they make no sense. He locks himself, Axel, and their maid in the house, refusing to let anyone out until he is able to decipher the code. But it is Axel, fanning himself with the message, who discovers that the letters create Latin sentences if read backward. Fearing what Otto will do with the information, Axel keeps the answer a secret, but after two days of being locked in, he gives in and tells Otto what he has discovered. Translating the Latin, Otto learns that the note is written by an Icelandic alchemist named Arne Saknussemm, and it claims to show the location of a secret passage that leads to the center of the Earth.As soon as Otto decodes the message and learns that the entrance lies at the bottom of a dormant volcano in Iceland, he decides to leave immediately for Reykjavik. Axel, who is more patient and less adventurous than his uncle, tries to talk him out of it by pointing out all of the known scientific reasons this passage could not possibly exist.At this point, Otto's ward (and Axel's sweetheart) Gräuben steps in and convinces Axel to go with his uncle. She feels that Axel lacks maturity and believes this adventure will make him a man. She promises that if he goes she will marry him when he comes back. The two men then set off for Iceland where they meet and hire Hans to be their guide.With the aid of both Hans and the Saknussemm document, Otto and Axel are able to locate the right volcano and climb up and into it. At the bottom of the volcano, they find a series of tunnels and manage to find the correct tunnel described by Saknussemm. They follow the tunnel downward for several days until their water supply runs out. In desperation, Hans digs a whole through the tunnel wall and finds an underground river. After replenishing their water supply, they follow the river down even further until it opens up into a massive cave so large that they cannot see the other side.
