This is such a timeless classic!

It’s a must read for anyone who appreciates classic literature, scientific adventure or simply a good old-fashioned tale of courage and discovery.

If Jules Verne were alive today, he’d probably be the guy who insists the Wi-Fi router is buried beneath the Mariana Trench and sets off to retrieve it—with a reluctant nephew in tow. This book is exactly that kind of fever dream: a Victorian-era sci-fi where logic takes a backseat and lava-powered rafts are apparently a thing.

“Our principle is, that books, instead of growing mouldy behind an iron grating, should be worn out under the eyes of many readers.”

Verne clearly believed in dog-eared pages and wild imaginations.

Professor Otto Lidenbrock, the original I read it on Reddit so it must be true academic, discovers a cryptic message that suggests there’s a path to Earth’s core via an Icelandic volcano. Naturally, he drags his anxious nephew Axel and the stoic super-guide Hans on a descent that makes Dante’s Inferno look like a weekend hike.


Prepare to be transported to a world beyond imagination, a world that lies, perhaps just beneath your feet!
