Along with his whiz-kid nephew, Axel Liedenbrock he discovers the key to the document, and finds the location of the crater. The epic adventure begins when enthusiastic geologist Professor Otto Liedenbrock discovers old documents, which he believes are instructions on getting to the center of the earth. The imagination he put into it along with his knowledge of science makes compelling reading. It is also clear that he did heaps of research before writing this book.
Though most adventures and action books these days rely on shoot outs and car chases to keep the reader interested, Jules Verne manages to grip us using old fashioned mystery and suspense. In this novel, instead of going around the world, we are now going into it! Indeed, most of us waited for the film to be introduced to Journey to the Centre of the Earth. The staggering success of this novel though, meant that his other works are not as well known. Jules Verne is probably known to most of you through his famous novel, Around the World in 80 Days.
