Jules Verne 1 hr 58 min read

Deep beneath the Earth, Professor Lidenbrock and his companions cross a vast underground ocean, battle prehistoric beasts, and are hurled at last toward the surface by a volcanic eruption.

This is a Hungarian translation (part two) of Jules Verne's Journey to the Center of the Earth. Vivid, thrilling, foundational. Read it for the climax of Verne's beloved subterranean epic, the underground sea, the primeval monsters, and the fiery ascent home, one of the founding wonder-voyages of science fiction, here rendered for Hungarian readers.
