– Jules Verne er jo berømt for å ha vært svært forut for sin tid med sine historier om undervannsbåter, flyvemaskiner med mer, men i denne boken må man vel si han gikk på en liten smell. Hans fortelling om vitenskapsmannen flankert av den vanlige unge assistenten og litt mer hardbarkede arbeideren tar oss med inn i en innhul Tellus hvor forhistoriske monstre hersker og magnetiske stormer og lyn herjer havene. Masse inkonsistente ting å ergre seg over for naturvitenskapsmenn altså. Poenget her er at denne romanen er en komedie, og er slett ikke ment å være særlig seriøs. Den er faktisk ganske fornøyelig, Vernes humoristiske talenter er nok undervurdert. Men ta ikke mitt ord for det. Les den selv.

In Verne's science-fiction classic, Professor Lidenbrock chances upon an ancient manuscript and pledges to solve the mysterious coded message that lies within it. Eventually he deciphers the story - that of an Icelandic explorer who travels to the centre of the earth, finding his way there via a volcano.
Inspired by the manuscript, The Professor is determined to follow in the explorer's footsteps and builds a crew of men which includes his nervous nephew Axel. Together they begin their journey to the centre of the earth, facing fearsome danger and adventure at every turn.
