Hardcover, Foundation Classics, 56 pages. Although many of the scientific theories in this book are dated, such as the reason for a volcano erupting, the book is very educational. It was an eye opener for me, making science seem like an adventure or something to write creatively about. This book also introduced me to the classic, journey story-structure.

The story is related in a diary form by the young nephew, apprenticed to his famous scientist uncle.

Soon he was turning out imaginative stories such as Five Weeks in a Balloon (1863) and Journey to the Center of the Earth (1864), which were immensely popular all over the world. He lived in his little house in Königstrasse, a dwelling built partly of brick and partly of stone, with a crenated gable-end, which looked on to one of those winding canals which intersect each other in the centre of the oldest part of Hamburg, which happily escaped the great fire in 1842. The old house leaned forward slightly, and bulged out towards the passers-by.

The story involves German professor Otto Lidenbrock who believes there are volcanic tubes going toward the centre of the Earth. He, his nephew Axel, and their guide Hans descend into the Icelandic volcano Snæfellsjökull, encountering many adventures, including prehistoric animals and natural hazards, before eventually coming to the surface again in southern Italy, at the Stromboli volcano.

Journey to the Centre of the Earth is an astonishing book for many reasons. What a book!’ he was saying

Journey to the Centre of the Earth is an astonishing book for many reasons. It certainly astonished me when I first read it at the age of ten – I couldn’t put it down, and I wouldn’t talk to anybody until I had finished it. It is one of the first pieces of science fiction ever written and, at the same time, a thoroughly exciting adventure story. What a book!’ he was saying. This exclamation reminded me that Professor Lidenbrock was also a bibliomaniac in his spare time; but a book had no value in his eyes unless it was unique or, at the very least, unreadable. Can’t you see what it is?

This book takes a little while to get going, but when it does, it becomes one you cannot put down'. Indeed, most of us waited for the film to be introduced to Journey to the Centre of the Earth. In this novel, instead of going around the world, we are now going into it! Though most adventures and action books these days rely on shoot outs and car chases to keep the reader interested, Jules Verne manages to grip us using old fashioned mystery and suspense. If your parents are insisting, like mine, that you read classics, this is the place to start! Want to tell the world about a book you've read?
