An ancient parchment bearing a mysterious cryptogram maps the most hazardous journey of Professor Lidenbrock`s career. With his nephew and a guide the Professor travels to Iceland. Their journey to the centre of the earth begins on the summit of a volcano and takes them down through secret passages, across a desolate underground sea populated by prehistoric marine monsters, on what may be a voyage of no return.

Jules Verne`s third great `science fiction` novel describes the discovery and exploration of a secret tunnel which leads through a volcano to the centre of the Earth. The leader of the expedition is an archetypal comic and eccentric boffin, and together with his ward, his nephew Axel (who is in love with the ward), and an estimable Icelandic guide, the journey is made. `Journey to the Centre of the Earth` achieved instant and enduring popularity on publication in 1874.

Trapped in rural Steeple Bumpleigh, a man less stalwart than Bertie Wooster would probably give way at the knees. For among those present were Florence Craye, to whom Bertie had once been engaged and her new fiance "Stilton"Cheesewright, who sees Bertie as a snake in the grass.

Jude Fawley, a stone-mason, has already suffered. His academic ambitions were thwarted by his poverty and class: trapped into a loveless marriage, he is now alone but not free. He comes to love his cousin Sue who, seemingly emancipated, is herself miserably married. Sue`s words to Jude are prophetic, for although together they defy conventional morality to seize a chance of happiness, they are ultimately defeated by both circumstance and the flaws within their own nature.
