The fearless Professor Lidenbrock makes the most remarkable expedition of the nineteenth century: a journey through the extinct Icelandic volcano to the very core of the Earth. In his quest to penetrate the eternal mysteries of the planet, the geologist - along with the nephew of the earthquake Axel and their devoted guide Hans - discovers an amazing underground menagerie of prehistoric proportions. Verne's figurative tale is at once the supreme sci-fi adventure and a reflection of the perfection of the human understanding and psychology of the Quaestor.
