" Journey to the Center of the Earth " is one of the first science fiction novels by Jules Verne, telling about a daring and dangerous journey into the bowels of the Earth through the mouth of a volcano.
An eccentric German professor of mineralogy, Otto Lidenbrock, discovers runic writing in an ancient book and, with the help of his nephew Axel, tries to unravel the secret hidden behind it. To the horror of the young man, the text speaks of the possibility of getting to the center of the Earth through the crater of a volcano in Iceland. Seized by a thirst for new discoveries, the professor, without wasting time, sets off on a journey, taking with him his desperately resisting nephew. An incredible prehistoric world awaits the heroes underground - here hot rivers flow and the ocean rages, a giant mushroom forest grows and mastodons graze. The brave members of the expedition will have to survive a terrible underground storm - but only to find themselves in the mouth of an unknown active volcano ...
