A Journey into the Interior of the Earth
Jules Verne was fascinated by both the natural world and by science. He read up to 15 newspapers daily, keeping detailed notes of new discoveries and using his research to forecast future advances with astonishing accuracy (missiles, astronauts, air conditioning, helicopters and submarines are just a few of his successful predictions). 'Journey to the Centre of the Earth' builds on the struggles of the great explorers of the Victorian Age, with the imaginary Professor Hardwigg and his companions using a coded map to descend into the uttermost bowels of the earth. Here they find a wondrous world of pure adventure and desperate challenges, and face a battle royal against ape-men and dinosaurs in which their very lives are at stake.
