Viaggio al centro della Terra (in francese Voyage au centre de la Terre) e un romanzo scientifico davventura del 1864 di Jules Verne. Appartenente al sottogenere della fantascienza sotterranea, in esso si narra del viaggio immaginario di uno scienziato tedesco e dei suoi collaboratori in un mondo sotto la superficie terrestre, che lautore lascia intuire si trattasse di quello un tempo esistente alla luce del sole; per tale ragione e uno dei primi romanzi che si inscrive nel filone del mondo perduto.

Jules Verne (1828-1905) was a French novelist who pioneered the genre of science fiction. A true visionary with an extraordinary talent for writing adventure stories, his writings incorporated the latest scientific knowledge of his day and envisioned technological developments that were years ahead of their time. Verne wrote about undersea, air, and space travel long before any navigable or practical craft were invented. Verne wrote over 50 novels and numerous short stories.

Looking back to all that has occurred to me since that eventful day, I am scarcely able to believe in the reality of my adventures. They were truly so wonderful that even now I am bewildered when I think of them.My uncle was a German, having married my mothers sister, an Englishwoman. Being very much attached to his fatherless nephew, he invited me to study under him in his home in the fatherland.

To bear with him means to obey; and scarcely had his heavy feet resounded within our joint domicile than he shouted for me to attend upon him."HarryHarryHarry"I hastened to obey, but before I could reach his room, jumping three steps at a time, he was stamping his right foot upon the landing."Harry!" he cried, in a frantic tone, "are you coming up?"Now to tell the truth, at that moment I was far more interested in the question as to what was to constitute our dinner than in any problem of science; to me soup was more interesting than soda, an omelette more tempting than arithmetic, and an artichoke of ten times more value than any amount of asbestos.But my uncle was not a man to be kept waiting; so adjourning therefore all minor questions, I presented myself before him.
