(Original, Unabridged Classic, Premium Hardbound Collector's Edition, Ideal for Gifting)
Jules Verne
"Science, my lad, is made up of mistakes, but they are mistakes which it is useful to make, because they gradually lead to the truth."
When the eccentric Professor Lidenbrock discovers a cryptic manuscript pointing to a passage into the Earth's interior, he drags his reluctant nephew Axel — and their imperturbable Icelandic guide Hans — into one of the most extraordinary adventures in all of literature. Descending through an extinct Icelandic volcano, the trio descend into a world of subterranean oceans, prehistoric monsters, and geological wonders that defy every scientific assumption of the age.
Published in 1864, Journey to the Centre of the Earth is Jules Verne at his most inventive — a novel that combines rigorous scientific curiosity with the pure momentum of adventure fiction. The Penguin Select Classics edition captures the novel's essence: an irresistible tale of scientific audacity, human courage, and the spectacular unknown.
This premium hardbound collector's edition with sprayed edges delivers Verne's original, unabridged text — a perfect gift for readers of all ages who love adventure and discovery.
