I refuse to refer to this book as Journey to the Center of the Earth ever again. It will henceforth be referred to as Journey to the Interior of the Earth. It's true enough. 320 kilometers deep. That's not a lot. It's just a tiny fraction of the crust. Ebert, Roger (July 10, 2008). "Jules Verne dumbed way down". Chicago Sun-Times. Archived from the original on February 14, 2021 .

Perché abbiamo le descrizioni dell'Islanda del diciannovesimo secolo, e una dichiarazione d'amore per le scoperte scientifiche e tecnologiche di quella meravigliosa epoca, un amore che Verne riversa nelle descrizioni, nei sermoni che mette in bocca o nei pensieri dei suoi personaggi, negli strumenti scientifici e nel loro costante utilizzo, nelle teorie esposte e inseguite per tutto il libro. Journey to the Center of the Earth is a 3-D film by Eric Brevig. Cast members include Brendan Fraser, Anita Briem and Josh Hutcherson. The film is a modern-day paraphrase of the 1860s original — it uses Verne's book as its inciting incident instead of Saknussemm's message, then follows the novel's overall structure with fidelity: a geology professor, his nephew, and an Icelandic guide (now a woman named "Hannah") penetrate Snaefells, discover a seashore with giant mushrooms, sail across an underground ocean inhabited by a pod of Elasmosaurus, a relative of the plesiosaurus, and reach the other side where they encounter a terrestrial animal from prehistory, in this case a Tyrannosaurus, a predatory theropod dinosaur rather than a mastodon. Ultimately the three explorers exit the underworld via an erupting volcano, find themselves in present-day Italy, and return to their starting point in academia.

Una increíble Aventura como solo el inmortal Julio Verne puede entregar. El libro empieza algo lento, y debo admitir que encontré todo lo que respecta a Islandia bastante aburrido, pero una vez que entran en el volcán, es un sinfín de emocionantes peligros y cada vez mayores sorpresas. Nunca voy a olvidar las cavernas, el viaje marino bajo la tierra, y todas las asombrosas formas de vida encontradas en esa tierra prehistórica. Puro asombro sin final. Este es mi libro favorito de Verne hasta ahora, leí algunos más y siempre tengo la intención de leer otros. Su serie de viajes extraordinarios son pura magia clásica. The 37th episode of The Triplets, called Journey to the Center of the Earth, makes reference to this novel.

Wakeman released a second concept album called Return to the Centre of the Earth in 1999. It tells the story of a later set of travelers attempting to repeat the original journey. Jules Verne’s Journey to the Center of the Earthis one of its author’s most beloved works. Engaging the themes of space and time, geology, travel, and discovery, it is a fantastic fusion of science and adventure. This book is part of the series of novels titled Voyages Extraordinaires, which also includes Verne's classics Around the World in Eighty Days (1873) and Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea (1870). Journey to the Center of the Earth was a direct-to-DVD release by The Asylum, also released as Journey to Middle Earth in the United Kingdom. Starring Greg Evigan as Joseph Harnet and Dedee Pfeiffer as Emily Radford, it's a low-budget adaptation, which, as with most Asylum films, was apparently released to draft off of the Eric Brevig film.The adventure deepens when a larger body of water appears before them, forcing the trio to make some major decisions, which include building a raft and exploring some of the local terrain. Much of the area is filled with bones of long-extinct creatures that piques Axel’s interest, leaving him to wonder if the adventure might have been worthwhile after all. Much of the discoveries prove baffling to Axel, though he marvels at what he can see, as well as what might await him as they push onwards. 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".
