Journey of the center of the earth book6/29/2023 Then! When we get to the really cool part of the story that really is awesome science fiction, it’s barely talked about. I understand that this is (a) science fiction and (b) written over 100 years ago, but it got to the point where the only way I was able to enjoy the story was to pretend I knew nothing after 8th grade science. I struggled through this book because all I could think for the first half of the novel was “Nothing….is…happening.”Īnother thing I struggled with was the science. It took 100 pages for them to get to the volcano, walk around, and run out of water. Journey to the Center of the Earth was incredibly slow. Verne's imaginative tale is at once the ultimate science fiction adventure and a reflection on the perfectibility of human understanding and the psychology of the questor. In his quest to penetrate the planet's primordial secrets, the geologist-together with his quaking nephew Axel and their devoted guide, Hans-discovers an astonishing subterranean menagerie of prehistoric proportions. The intrepid Professor Liedenbrock embarks upon the strangest expedition of the nineteenth century: a journey down an extinct Icelandic volcano to the Earth's very core.
