Jules Verne continued his string of great sci-fi writing with the publication of A Journey to the Center of the Earth. In the book, Professor Hardwigg believes man can travel to the center of the planet through volcanic tubes. His group enters the tubes and face many perils including dinosaurs and nature itself. At the end, they emerge from the tubes in Italy.
Unlike much of Verne’s work, this book has proven incorrect in its science. For example, prehistoric animals do not live underground. However, the book spawned major motion pictures, cartoons, and made-for-TV movies. It’s also influenced comic books, the Back to the Future films, games, and even concept rock albums.
