Synopsis "Journey to the Center of the Earth (Deluxe Library Edition) (Illustrated)"

When an eccentric professor acquires an ancient book, a riddle on a spare piece of parchment tucked neatly within its pages leads him and his nephew on an unparalleled adventure. The unlocked riddle brings them to a remote mountain on Iceland, where they enter an extinct volcano on a daring quest to reach the center of the earth. They soon find themselves at a giant underground ocean where the laws of science are constantly redefined and prehistoric creatures are in abundance. But in the bowels of the earth, a shocking discovery pits the travellers face to face with their own terrifying past.Jules Verne's A Journey to the Center of the Earth has been read by millions of inquisitive minds and has influenced some of the worlds most famous explorers such as Admiral Byrd, who announced on his 1926 expedition to the North Pole that "it is Jules Verne who is bringing me." This edition was edited in 2015 by A.R Roumanis. The original English translation included common Victorian words. A.R. Roumanis edited the story for modern 21st century readers. This edition includes 53 illustrations, a biography, historical reviews, articles, and an introduction by Mark Rich.

Jules Gabriel Verne, conocido en los países hispanohablantes como Julio Verne (Nantes, 8 de febrero de 1828-Amiens, 24 de marzo de 1905), fue un escritor, dramaturgo y poeta francés, célebre por sus novelas de aventuras y por su profunda influencia en el género literario de la ciencia ficción.
Nacido en una familia burguesa, estudió para continuar los pasos de su padre, Pierre Verne, como abogado pero muy joven decidió abandonar ese camino para dedicarse a la literatura. Su colaboración con el editor Pierre-Jules Hetzel dio como fruto la creación de Viajes extraordinarios, una popular serie de novelas de aventuras escrupulosamente documentadas y visionarias entre las que se incluían las famosas De la Tierra a la Luna (1865), Veinte mil leguas de viaje submarino (1870), La vuelta al mundo en ochenta días (1872) o La isla misteriosa (1874). Ya antes había publicado Cinco semanas en globo (1863) y Viaje al centro de la Tierra (1864).
Es uno de los escritores más importantes de Francia y de toda Europa gracias a la evidente influencia de sus libros en la literatura vanguardista y el surrealismo, y desde 1979 es el segundo autor más traducido en el mundo, después de Agatha Christie. Se le considera, junto a H. G. Wells, uno de los «padres de la ciencia ficción». Fue condecorado con la Legión de Honor en 1892 por sus aportes a la educación y a la ciencia.
