Journey to the Center of the Earth.
ResponderEliminarThe action begins in the peaceful mansion of an old Hamburg neighborhood where Professor Lidenbrock, a geologist and mineralogist, resides. Live with the irascible teacher a protégé of his, Graüben, and a nephew, Axel, who helps his uncle with his work and is secretly in love with the sweet Graüben.
The normal rhythm of things is deeply disrupted by an ancient cryptogram discovered in a runic manuscript. In such a cryptogram, an Icelandic alchemist from the 16th century, Arne Saknüssemm, concealed an extraordinary revelation: through one of the craters of the Sneffels, an extinct volcano in Iceland, Saknüssemm had managed to penetrate to the center of the Earth. Without wasting a single moment, the professor begins to organize the expedition. A guide, they go deep into the bowels of the Earth.
The journey is full of exciting adventures, surprising events and unforeseen hardships, from lack of water to difficulties in finding his way around, which lead Axel to lose himself and rejoin the group thanks to the echoes of his uncle's voice. Some of its most interesting episodes are the raft crossing of an underground sea (illuminated by an unknown electrical phenomenon) on whose shores lush vegetation of remote times grow, the deadly fight between an ichthyosaur and a plesiosaur, the storm and the shipwreck, the discovery of human fossils and a mummified corpse from the Quaternary period and the encounter of a gigantic semi-human shepherd of a herd of mastodons.
A rusty dagger and letters etched into the rock by the alchemist still show the route they must follow, but the path has been obstructed by an earthquake. They decide to undermine the obstacle, and the explosion, expected from afar on the raft, unleashes a cataclysm: the travelers follow the path of the alchemist Saknüssemm, but pushed by an entire sea. After a terrible fall into the abysses that boil and roar, the water lifts the raft through a vertical tunnel, disappearing, evaporated by the heat, the eruptive matter that impels it. And among the terrifying phenomena of an eruption, the explorers, who had entered Iceland through the extinct crater of Sneffels, are expelled by the activity of the Stromboli volcano, on the Italian island of the same name.
