Full Description

A Journey to the Centre of the Earth begins when a brilliant, impatient professor cracks a centuries-old coded manuscript claiming that an Icelandic volcano leads down into the heart of the planet. Dragging along his reluctant young nephew and their calm, unshakeable guide Hans, he climbs into the crater and keeps going. Deep underground they battle thirst, darkness, and getting hopelessly lost, then discover a vast hidden sea, giant forests, and creatures thought long extinct. The original story in clear, modern language, with all the adventure, curiosity, and wide-eyed wonder of Jules Verne’s classic. It’s an easy, exciting listen that takes you somewhere no map can.
