Journey To The Centre Of The Earth (unabridged)

Homewood, Bill

The story begins in Hamburg, 1863. The brilliant Professor Lidenbrock, inspired by an ancient, encoded manuscript, impetuously decides to take his reluctant nephew Axel on a seemingly insane mission: to travel down volcanic tunnels to the very centre of the earth. With Hans, their intrepid Icelandic guide, they descend deeper and deeper, encountering terrifying prehistoric animals and passiong through unimaginably beautiful landscapes. Will Axel ever again see his beloved fiancée Graüben? All is revealed in the incredible dénouement of this thrilling adventure. This work has been hugely influential on popular culture, having inspired several stage and film adaptations, including a 2008 film with Brendan Fraser. Bill Homewood's distinctive voice is perfect for the French classics: he has previously read The Hunchback of Notre Dame and The Three Musketeers for Naxos AudioBooks.
