Journey to the Center of the Earth

{{Tr|Lowell Bair}}. This translation begins: On May 24, 1863, a Sunday, my uncle, Professor Otto Lidenbrock, came hurrying back toward his little house at 19 Königstrasse, one of the oldest streets in the old quarter of Hamburg. Our good Martha must have thought she had started cooking dinner very late, because it had only just begun sizzling on the kitchen stove.
