<DIV><B>One hundred fifty years later, Jules Verne&rsquo;s epic novel of science and adventure is just as thrilling as when it was first published</B>&#160;<BR /><BR /> A dirty slip of parchment falls from the pages of an ancient manuscript. Deciphered by the indefatigable Otto Liedenbrock, professor of geology, and his reluctant nephew, Axel, the parchment&rsquo;s coded message is a wild assertion made by a medieval alchemist: Inside a volcano in Iceland is a passageway to the center of the earth. Impossible, says Axel&mdash;the temperature of the earth&rsquo;s core is far too high for any human being to go near it. That is one theory, the professor replies. Two days later, they embark on a journey so fantastic it will alter the very meaning of history. &#160;<BR /> &#160;<BR /> First published in 1864, <I>Journey to the Center of the Earth </I>is a cornerstone of science fiction and one of the greatest stories ever told. This ebook edition contains the classic Ward Lock &amp; Co. translation of 1877, one of the first English-language versions faithful to the original French. &#160;<BR /><BR /> This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.</DIV>
