Krátky popis
Jules Verne's wild and riotous fantasy Journey to the Centre of the
Earth delves into the hidden mysteries of a vast, uncharted
subterranean world. This Penguin Classics edition is translated
from the French by Frank Wynne with an introduction by Jane Smiley
and notes by Peter Cogman. Jules Verne's pioneering science fiction
classic tells the story of the distinguished but eccentric
Professor Lidenbrock, who finds a scrap of parchment in an old
manuscript.A cipher written in runes, it tells of an entrance to
another world - a world hidden beneath our own, illuminated by an
electrified gas and populated by strange, prehistoric beings. So
with his nephew reluctantly in tow, the Professor follows this
cryptic clue down into a dormant volcano in Iceland, and the
further they descend, the more extraordinary the discoveries and
creatures that they encounter, the greater the dangers, and the
more ancient the living past that surrounds them. This new
translation by Frank Wynne is accompanied by an introduction on the
science of Verne's work and its influences.This edition also
includes notes, a chronology and suggested further reading. Jules
Verne (1828-1905), the 'father of Science Fiction' was born in
Nantes, developing from early childhood a romantic fascination for
the ships and the sea. In 1848 he moved to Paris, ostensibly to
become a lawyer, though his true ambition was to become a
writer.His first book, Five Weeks in a Balloon (1863) was an
immediate popular success, followed a year later by Journey to the
Centre of the Earth, among the most popular of the fifty-four books
published during his life are From the Earth to the Moon (1865),
Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea (1870) and Around the World
in Eighty Days (1873). If you enjoyed Journey to the Centre of the
Earth you might like H.G. Wells' The Time Machine, also available
in Penguin Classics.
