...at least it was 100 years ago!
True to it's cultural timezone,
A Journey to the Center of the Earth has started off as so many modernistic novels do: with claims of superhuman ability on it's heros. Also, like other contemporary material, some new discovery of science is made, usually absolutely ridiculous; beyond serious consideration to our post modern attitudes and experiences. Typically, the lead character is eccentric, disorganized, and brilliant.
In
Journey, a cyphered message directs two adventurous scientists to take a trip through a volcano doorway into a new world below the earth's crust.
I'll post again as I wade through this book.
