El Viaje al Centro de la Tierra en Español. The Journey to the Center of the World.

Jeden z nejúspěšnějších románů od průkopníků fantastické literatury Julese Verna. Legendární kniha sleduje osudy tří statečných mužů, které kapitán Nemo zachránil před smrtí a potom uvěznil ve své podmořské lodi Nautilus. Nemo na své lodi vybudoval dokonalou výzkumnou laboratoř a zároveň děsivý nástroj pomsty. Napínavý příběh doprovází líčení tajemných mořských hlubin, zprávy o rozvoji techniky a varování před nebezpečím zneužití výsledků vědeckého pokroku. Autorova bohatá fantazie se drží v mezích technické pravděpodobnosti a proto román působí i dnes velmi přesvědčivě.
