About This Novel
The novel describes Professor Lidenbrock's accidental discovery of a piece of parchment in an ancient book. He got inspiration from the words on the parchment: the predecessor Arne Saknusem had traveled to the center of the earth. The professor decided to make the same trip. He entered the Snæfellsjökull crater in Iceland. After three months of travel, he went through difficulties and obstacles such as lack of water, getting lost, and storms. Finally, due to the impact of rock flows, he returned to the ground from a crater on the island of Storumboli in northern Sicily in the Mediterranean Sea.
