| Summary |
"Naar het middelpunt der Aarde" by Jules Verne is a science fiction novel written during the late 19th century. The story follows Professor Otto Lidenbrock, a determined and somewhat eccentric geologist, and his nephew Axel as they embark on an extraordinary expedition beneath the Earth's surface after discovering a mysterious ancient document. The opening of the book introduces us to the main characters and their setting in Hamburg, where Professor Lidenbrock's excitement over an old book leads to the discovery of a cryptic runic manuscript. His obsessive and impatient nature is immediately apparent as he races home to read the manuscript, summoning Axel to assist him. The professor’s character is vividly drawn as both brilliant and irritable, engaging Axel and Martha, their housekeeper, in his fervent pursuits of knowledge. The text sets the stage for their impending adventure, hinting at the challenges and discoveries that await them as they prepare to dive into the unknown depths of the Earth.
