Journey to the Center of the Earth: The Original Edition (Extraordinary Voyages)
by Jules VerneThe intrepid Professor Lindenbrock embarks upon the strangest expedition of the nineteenth century: a journey down an extinct Icelandic volcano to the Earth's very core. In his quest to penetrate the planet's primordial secrets, the geologist--together with his quaking nephew Axel and their devoted guide, Hans--discovers an astonishing subterranean menagerie of prehistoric proportions. Verne's imaginative tale is at once the ultimate science fiction adventure and a reflection on the perfectibility of human understanding and the psychology of the questor. As David Brin notes in his Introduction, though Verne never knew the term "science fiction," Journey to the Centre of the Earth is "inarguably one of the wellsprings from which it all began."From the Trade Paperback edition.

by Jules VerneOne hundred fifty years later, Jules Verne&’s epic novel of science and adventure is just as thrilling as when it was first published A dirty slip of parchment falls from the pages of an ancient manuscript.

Impossible, says Axel—the temperature of the earth&’s core is far too high for any human being to go near it. That is one theory, the professor replies. Two days later, they embark on a journey so fantastic it will alter the very meaning of history. First published in 1864, Journey to the Center of the Earth is a cornerstone of science fiction and one of the greatest stories ever told. This ebook edition contains the classic Ward Lock & Co. translation of 1877, one of the first English-language versions faithful to the original French.

Journey: A Novel
by Andrew ZimmermanFor fans of Mitch Albom, Paulo Coelho, and Elizabeth Gilbert, Journey is a novel of magical realism that takes the reader from the NYC high-tech corporate world to the mystical city of Glastonbury, England. Amazon’s #1 New Release for metaphysical fiction in 2020, Journey is a tale of both spiritual and emotional awakening. In his effort to be the next CEO of Ascendant, a New York-based tech giant, Paul Moore neglects everything―his family and himself―in his race to the top. But a trip to Glastonbury, England changes everything. A complete counterpoint to Paul’s corporate day job, Glastonbury is a spiritual Disneyworld, catering to would-be witches, goddesses, druids, fairies, neopagans, and burned-out hippies. Exploring the city, Paul is drawn to the energy of a nearby hill―Tor―said to be the mythical Isle of Avalon of Arthurian lore. At Tor, Paul meets a beautiful soul reader, Christine, who plants the seeds that turn his life upside down. Returning home, Mary, Paul’s wife, sees the changes in him and is both scared and intrigued as she watches him struggle to navigate between the business and spiritual worlds. When a series of synchronistic events pull Paul to return to Glastonbury and Christine, Mary reluctantly agrees to share his journey back. They depart, both unaware that their lives will never be the same. Journey is a story inspired by real events. Part of a planned trilogy.
Journeys Through Time & Space: 5 Classic Novels of Science Fiction and Fantasy
by H. G. Wells Mark Twain David Lindsay E. R. Eddison Edgar R BurroughsA Nebula Award winner presents tales that shaped modern science fiction and fantasy—five complete novels by Mark Twain, H. G. Wells, and more. In this handpicked collection, New York Times–bestselling author Greg Bear travels back to the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, when novelists let their imaginations soar beyond conventional boundaries of time and space and contributed to the emergence of imaginative new literary genres. In 1889, Mark Twain introduced Americans to time travel in A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court, in which a hard-headed New Englander is sent back through history to the age of chivalry. Six years later, H. G. Wells propelled an intrepid inventor into the far future via The Time Machine; there, our fearless hero discovers a nightmarish evolutionary scenario in which technologically advanced but mutated Morlocks dwell underground, preying on the innocent aboveground Eloi. In 1912, long before Ray Bradbury or Star Wars, Edgar Rice Burroughs imagined the first wildly popular alternative fantasy/alien culture with A Princess of Mars, transporting readers from Arizona to the red planet, where Confederate soldier John Carter is swept up in another kind of civil war and seduced by a gorgeous red-hued princess. In 1920, Scottish novelist David Lindsay presented A Voyage to Arcturus, an interstellar quest for truth as well as an inquiry into the nature of good and evil that inspired generations of fantasy writers to come. And in 1922, E. R. Eddison turned the planet Mercury into a fantasy version of Earth where demons and witches wage war on a Homeric scale in The Worm Ouroboros. With an insightful introduction, Bear celebrates the writers who first swept readers away to other times and worlds—and blew their minds in ways that altered our literary landscape and collective imagination forever.
