About This Novel
Professor Lidenbrock accidentally obtained an ancient book from hundreds of years ago. There was a piece of parchment sandwiched in the book. After many layers of interpretation, the professor discovered that the alchemist Saknusem had traveled to the center of the earth. Professor Lidenbrock decided to take his nephew Axel on the same trip. They set out from Hamburg, Germany, and after arriving in Iceland, they asked a guide, Hans, to accompany them. Following the clues in the ancient book, the three people descended from the Snæfellsjökull crater in Iceland. After three months of travel, they experienced difficulties and obstacles such as water shortage, getting lost, and storms. Finally, due to the impact of rock flows, they returned to the ground from another crater on the island of Sdrombli in northern Sicily in the Mediterranean Sea. Only then did they realize that they had traveled four thousand miles underground.
