A progenitor of science fiction, the works of Jules have been adapted to film countless times. One of Verne’s most familiar and extraordinary tales, A Journey to the Centre of the Earth takes readers deep below the crust of the earth into a strange world of prehistoric monsters and subterranean skies. While Verne’s vision of the earth’s core has almost wholly been refuted by science, it remains one of the most cherished and classic adventure tales of the nineteenth century.
