Journey to the Center of the Earth

Product Information

I am very happy I finally read this book. I was in Nantes -where Verne was born- a few months ago and I went to the Verne's museum. Lovely place which helped me a lot to grow more interest in Verne's work and life. This was a very good reason why I read this: I was in the "Verne's mood". The Victorian age was an age of discovery. Men were tramping to the deepest heart of Africa, to the highest peaks in Tibet, and courting death in the Sahara Desert, all in an attempt to be the first to discover something. Nothing, of course, existed until a white man laid eyes on it. These days, nothing has been seen unless one has taken a selfie with it. Believe me, the great Victorian explorers would have loved to travel with an iPhone X to faithfully record all of their feats of valor and chronicle the dark mysteries they unraveled.

By Jules Verne

A piece of paper fell to the floor. That piece of paper caused Otto and Axel to leave for an incredible adventure. They tried to decode it. Otto was so taken with the work that he had no appetite which worried Marta. Otto figured out that everything was written in Latin and he found the name of Arne Saknussemm, an alchemist from Iceland. After finishing his law studies in Paris, Jules decided to dedicate himself to literature. At eleven years of age, he boarded a ship to India but his father stopped him. The love for the sea kept on living in him. La partenza è la stessa usata da Saknussemm, un vulcano islandese. I nostri eroi si avvalgono dell’aiuto di una cosiddetta guida, che si capisce poco in cosa possa guidarli, data la natura del viaggio, che si presume nessuno abbia più compiuto da almeno tre secoli a questa parte: e quindi, Hans, più che guida, è tuttofare, due mani robuste da uomo di fatica esperto e pratico della natura. But... *wipes tear*...no sense crying weeping uncontrollably over spilled milk** misspent reading years. I must just remember to ensure that I don’t make the same error with my own children. So far, so good. The great visionary Jules Verne wrote this imaginary-scientific-metaphorical book in 1864 (it is difficult to define it). Someone insists on listing it in children's literature, but I disagree at all. It is a book that can (and must) be read at all ages.

[12]The longer of the streets in Reykjavík runs parallel to the coast, and it is here that merchants and traders in cabins of horizontal red beams ply their trade….I had soon paced these sad and dreary thoroughfares; sometimes I spied a yellowing lawn like a threadbare woollen rug, or a vegetable garden whose meagre crops – potatoes, cabbage, lettuce – would not have looked out of place on a Lilliputian table. A few drooping gillyflowers did their best to adopt a sunny disposition. (p. 51) The movie (2008) is an entertaining adaptation. Not a great movie, nor exactly faithful to the book, some very big licenses were taken, but still very popcorn worthy. Stellar cast including stars like Fraser, Hutcherson and Briem. I think the best of the movie are the especial effects, beyond awesome, and, if not the plot, at least they truly depict the beautiful essence of all the wonders of this hidden world Verne created with his book. All the anti-gravity stuff felt absolutely preposterous, but oh well, Hollywood right? But other than that, very entertaining, and easy to watch. Overall a nice complement to the reading.

In my Goodreads updates I referred to him as a damsel in distress, and also TSTL: Too Stupid To Live. Bringing that boy on an expedition (I keep wanting to write a Winnie-the-Pooh-esque "expotition") is like taking a penguin to the Bahamas. I lost count of the number of times he fell or got lost or otherwise needed rescuing – and every single time there was poor old Hans, probably thinking "ach du lieber (or the Icelandic equivalent thereof), we should just put the fool on a leash." I can't imagine why his uncle brought him in the first place, unless he didn't realize what a Moaning Myrtle the boy would become, in addition to being a hazard to himself and all those around him. Every step of the way he complained and protested and fretted and despaired. The fact that he happened to be right in some of his complaints – as, for example, when he protested the minimal amount of water they were toting – doesn't make his constant whingeing easier to tolerate.

Otto went to the library and Axel took a walk. During lunch, they talked about how empty the library is. Mr. Fridriksson told them that the books were out because people were reading. When he asked about the books of the man who wrote that note he found out that he was accused of being a heretic and his books were burned in 1573 in Copenhagen. The book includes a behind-the-scenes journey, including an author profile, a guide to who's who, activities and more. The professor, as a scholar should be, is very precise, meticulous, wears large glasses, is tall and thin; he loses patience quite easily and at first he can't stand his nephew much.
