"A Journey to the Centre of the Earth" by Jules Verne is a science fiction novel written in the mid-19th century. The story follows the protagonist, Professor Otto Lidenbrock, and his nephew, Axel, as they embark on an extraordinary expedition to explore the depths of the Earth, spurred by an ancient manuscript that hints at the path to the planet's core. The novel combines adventure with scientific exploration, drawing upon the geological knowledge of its time. The opening of the book introduces us to the eccentric Professor Lidenbrock, who is consumed by a recent discovery of a Runic manuscript he believes contains secrets to the Earth's interior. The story begins in Germany, where he summons his nephew, Axel, to help decipher the text, leading to a mix of excitement and dread as the young man grapples with the implications of their potential journey. As the chapters progress, Lidenbrock's fervor and determination become apparent, setting the stage for their thrilling and perilous adventure below ground. The narrative introduces key characters, references to Iceland's geological wonders, and hints at the challenges they will face as they prepare for their ambitious descent.
