  • Description
    ?Journey to the center of the Earth? is a classic novel by Jules Verne (8th February 1828 24th March 1905). he was a French novelist, poet, and playwright. Firstly, this classic Science fiction novel was published in French in 1864. Vernes innovation was the concept of the prehistoric realm. Actually he developed a passion for travelling and adventure at an early age. He wrote a series of best-selling adventure novels. Twenty thousand leagues under the seas?, ?around the world in eighty days?. it also includes? ?journey to center of the Earth?, ?from the Earth to the moon?, ?the mysterious island?, ?off on a comet?. Verne has put his best efforts for this novella distinction, based on well-researched Victorian Science. The journey begins in Hamburg, Germany, where Axel lives with his uncle. Its main Theme is perseverance toward a larger goal, and the power of Earth. The main character in the story revolves around Prof. Otto Lidenbrock, who believes there are volcanic tubes that reach to the center of the Earth. So, he starts the journey along with his nephew Axel and their guide Hans. On their way, there are many adventures and also many natural hazards. Many hangers, including cave-ins, sub-polar Tornadoes, an underground ocean, and interestingly imaginary prehistoric creatures. They get a code and start working on that. With their tireless efforts, they crack the codes and find a passage to the center of the Earth via the crater of snaefells jökull. They reach the right crater, at the bottom of the crater they encounter many dangers. Unfortunately they take a wrong turn where there is a scarcity of water. But their guide helps them by tapping into a stream of water. So, as such there are many interesting episodes during their journey. At one place they all get separated but due to acoustic phenomenon they reunite. Even they face a Lightning storm. As they are on a raft. After spending so much time their raft reverses its direction and rises inside a volcanic Chimney that ultimately throws them into the open air. Though they all become unconscious. When they regain consciousness, they come to know that they have been ejected from a volcanic island located in Sicily. After this, they all (trio) return to Germany. Prof. Lidenbrock is welcomed as one of the great scientists of the day. To whom Axel married? And what happened to their guide, Hans? Everything will be revealed only after going through the complete novel. One of the best classic Science fiction and adventure novel, full of innovations which will surely take everyone to the fantasy world.

    • Jules Verne, (born February 8, 1828, Nantes, France?died March 24, 1905, Amiens), prolific French author whose writings laid much of the foundation of modern science fiction. Verne?s father, intending that Jules follow in his footsteps as an attorney, sent him to Paris to study law. But the young Verne fell in love with literature, especially theatre. He wrote several plays, worked as secretary of the Thétre Lyrique (1852?54), and published short stories and scientific essays in the periodical Musée des familles. In 1857 Verne married and for several years worked as a broker at the Paris Stock Market. During this period he continued to write, to do research at the Bibliothèque Nationale (National Library), and to dream of a new kind of novel?one that would combine scientific fact with adventure fiction. In September 1862 Verne met Pierre-Jules Hetzel, who agreed to publish the first of Verne?s Voyages extraordinaires (?Extraordinary Journeys?)?Cinq semaines en ballon (1863; Five Weeks in a Balloon). Initially serialized in Hetzel?s Le Magasin d?éducation et de récréation, the novel became an international best seller, and Hetzel offered Verne a long-term contract to produce many more works of ?scientific fiction.? Verne subsequently quit his job at the stock market to become a full-time writer and began what would prove to be a highly successful author-publisher collaboration that lasted for more than 40 years and resulted in more than 60 works in the popular series Voyages extraordinaires. Verne?s works can be divided into three distinct phases. The first, from 1862 to 1886, might be termed his positivist period. Verne churned out many successful science-adventure novels, including Voyage au centre de la terre (1863, expanded 1867; Journey to the Centre of the Earth), De la terre à la lune (1865; From the Earth to the Moon), Autour de la lune (1870; Around the Moon), Vingt mille lieues sous les mers (1870; Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea), and Le Tour du monde en quatre-vingts jours (1873; Around the World in Eighty Days).

    Excellent story- great print quality

    A must-read for all science-fiction and classics lovers. Books by Collins classics are unabridged and usually of excellent quality. Great service by Flipkart, as usual. The novel itself isn't too long ( about 274 pages) and includes meanings of words and phrases from classic English Literature.
    Jules Verne was considered the 'inventor of science-fiction' as there was no other author writing on this genre at that time. Somewhat Utopian in thought, he explored, not the future, but the concept...
