Today we start another nine-part adventure as we tackle a classic by the great Jules Verne. Published in 1867, A Journey to the Center of the Earth explores the “Lost Civilization” genre of fiction which was just becoming popular at the time. Conan Doyle also had a nice showing of the genre in The Lost World. 

The combination of a young, reluctant and somewhat sarcastic narrator, and the bombastic professor/explorer is common in the genre, fun to read, and fun to perform. I hope you like it. 

And now, A Journey to the Center of the Earth, Part 1 of 9, by Jules Verne.
