The book relates the tale of Professor Lidenbrock, a geologist who embarks on a voyage to the Earth's core after deciphering a hidden message in an old manuscript.

Along with his nephew Axel, Lidenbrock sets off on a perilous journey through underground caves with the help of Hans, who serves as their guide.

Along the way, they come across prehistoric creatures, subterranean waters, and other marvels.

Verne's love with science and adventure is evident in the novel's detailed descriptions of the underground environment and its geological correctness.

Generations of readers have been inspired by and influenced by A Journey to the Center of the Earth, a treasured classic of science fiction and adventure literature.
