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 德国科学家李登布洛克教授在一本古老的书籍里偶然得到一张羊皮纸,并从前人阿尔纳·萨科努塞姆的得到了启发,偕同侄子阿克塞尔和向导汉斯,进行了一次穿越地心的探险旅行。他们从冰岛的斯奈菲尔火山口下降,在地心经历三个月的艰辛跋涉,一路克服缺水、迷路、暴风雨等艰难险阻,从西西里岛的火山口返回地面。 From a father of science fiction —a perilous and astonishing adventure into the earth's core that details encounters with natural hazards, 40 foot mushrooms, and prehistoric beasts After decoding a scrap of paper in runic script, the intrepid Professor Lidenbrock and his nervous nephew Axel travel across Iceland to find the secret passage to the center of the earth. Enlisting the silent Hans as a guide, the trio encounter a perilous and astonishing subterranean world of natural hazards, curious sights, prehistoric beasts, and sea monsters. 儒勒·凡尔纳(Jules Verne),19世纪法国著名的科幻小说和冒险小说作家,被誉为“科学幻想小说之父”。凡尔纳一生著述颇丰,创作的长篇小说和短篇小说集共计六十六部,以及《法国地理》一卷,《伟大的旅行家和伟大的旅行史》六卷。代表作品有《八十天环游地球》《海底两万里》《格兰特船长和他的儿女》《神秘岛》《气球上的五星期》和《地心游记》等。 Jules Verne (1828-1905) wasbornin Nantes, France, in 1828, of legal and seafaring stock. He was the author of innumerable adventure stories that combined a vivid imagination with a gift for popularizing science. Although he studied law at Paris, he devoted his life entirely to writing. His most popular stories, besides 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1870), include: Five Weeks in a Balloon (1863), Journey to the Center of the Earth (1864), A Trip to the Moon (1865), Around the World in Eighty Days (1872), and Michael Strogoff (1876). In addition, he was the author of a number of successful plays, as well as a popular history of exploration from Phoenician times to the mid-nineteenth century, The Discovery of the Earth (1878-80). After a long and active career in literature, Jules Verne died at Amiens, France. Looking back to all that has occurred to me since that eventful day, I am scarcely able to believe in the reality of my adventures. They were truly so wonderful that even now I am bewildered when I think of them. My uncle was a German, having married my mother's sister, an Englishwoman. Being very much attached to his fatherless nephew, he invited me to study under him in his home in the fatherland. This home was in a large town, and my uncle a professor of philosophy, chemistry, geology, mineralogy, and many other ologies. One day, after passing some hours in the laboratory—my uncle being absent at the time—I suddenly felt the necessity of renovating the tissues—i.e., I was hungry, and was about to rouse up our old French cook, when my uncle, Professor Von Hardwigg, suddenly opened the street door, and came rushing upstairs. Now Professor Hardwigg, my worthy uncle, is by no means a bad sort of man; he is, however, choleric and original. To bear with him means to obey; and scarcely had his heavy feet resounded within our joint domicile than he shouted for me to attend upon him. 1234567
