About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Journey to the Centre of the Earth by Jules Verne, published by Griffith and Farran. The story involves a German professor (Otto Lidenbrock in the original French, Professor Von Hardwigg in the most common English translation) who believes there are volcanic tubes going toward the center of the Earth. He, his nephew Axel (Harry), and their guide Hans encounter many adventures, including prehistoric animals and natural hazards, eventually coming to the surface again in southern Italy.
