Journey to the Centre of the Earth

{{Tr|William Butcher}}. This translation begins: On 24 May 1863, a Sunday, my uncle, Professor Lidenbrock, came rushing back towards his little house at No. 19 Königstrasse, one of the oldest streets in the historic part of Hamburg. Martha the maid must have thought that she was running very late, for dinner had hardly begun to simmer on the kitchen range.

This translation is based on the 1966 Livre de Poche edition. --WorldCat record {{OCLC|1153265506}}, whose summary reveals that in this text "German professor Otto Lidenbrock, ... his nephew Axel, and their guide Hans descend into the Icelandic volcano Snæfellsjökul."

Translated and with an introduction and notes by William Butcher.
