A Journey to the Center of the Earth - Jules Verne

One of the all-time greatest works of the science fiction genre, this edition of Verne's classic tale includes an Afterword written by Nimoy, known to generations as Mr. Spock from Star Trek, and an Introduction by Grylis, author of Born Survivor. Revised reissue. From the discovery of a strange parchment in an old bookseller's shop to the fantastic descent through a dormant volcano into a subterranean world of danger and beauty, A Journey to the Center of the Earth is as wonderfully entertaining today as when it was first published. One of Jules Verne's finest novels, its unique combination of hard science and vivid imagination helped establish this brilliant Frenchman as the father of modern science fiction. A high-tension odyssey, it depicts three men who venture into an unknown, fearsome underworld to discover what lies at the mysterious center of the earth--while risking their chances of ever returning to the surface alive. With an Introduction by Bear Grylls and an Afterword by Leonard Nimoy
