Summary

The story begins in Hamburg, 1863. The brilliant Professor Lidenbrock, inspired by an ancient encoded manuscript, impetuously decides to take his reluctant nephew Axel on a seemingly insane mission: to travel down volcanic tunnels to the very center of the earth. With Hans, their intrepid Icelandic guide, they descend deeper and deeper, encountering terrifying prehistoric animals and passing through unimaginably beautiful landscapes. Will Axel ever again see his beloved fiancée, Graüben? All is revealed in the incredible dénouement of this thrilling adventure.

Not my favourite Vernes

But still an enjoyable adventure and Bill Homeward is without doubt my favourite Vernes narrator.

One of my favourite books

I've read this book many times when I was younger and loved it every time. Bill Holmewood performance was great as expected and made me love this story even more.

A classic

Very well read but a bit of let down in terms of the story and the finale.
