Authored by Jules Verne
Original title: Voyage au centre de la Terre
Original language: French
Genre: Science fiction/Adventure
The story is about a German professor called Otto Lidenbrock (in the original) or Professor Von Hardwigg (in the English translation) and his nephew Axel (Harry) who believe there are volcanic tubes that can make them going toward the center of the Earth based on a coded note written by Arne Saknussemm in runic script that they found on an original runic manuscript of Icelandic. After they have a journey through Copenhagen and Lübeck, they go to Reykjavik, where they meet Hans Bjelke as their guide to Snæfellsjökull and start the journey. "Journey to The Center of the Earth" is the third book of The Extraordinary Voyages series. Preceded by "The Adventures of Captain Hatteras" (Voyages et aventures du capitaine Hatteras) and followed by "From the Earth to the Moon" (De la Terre à la Lune). This book was adapted into many films. It takes about 2 months for reading this book, maybe it's because I was so busy at school.
I just found the trailer of an old movie in 1978 that based on this book, this version's really faithful to the novel.
