Liquid propellants were invented even later and these modern propellants offer much higher specific impulse than black powder. The story involves German professor Otto Lidenbrock who believes there are volcanic tubes going toward the centre of the Earth, the genre of subterranean fiction already existed long before Verne. However, the present book considerably added to its popularity and influenced later such writings, for example, Edgar Rice Burroughs explicitly acknowledged Vernes influence on his own Pellucidar series.
While looking through the book, Lidenbrock and his nephew Axel find a note written in runic script along with the name of a 16th-century Icelandic alchemist. Lidenbrock and Axel transliterate the runic characters into Latin letters, revealing a message written in a seemingly bizarre code, Lidenbrock attempts a decipherment, deducing the message to be a kind of transposition cipher, but his results are as meaningless as the original.
Professor Lidenbrock decides to lock everyone in the house and force himself, Axel discovers the answer when fanning himself with the deciphered text, Lidenbrocks decipherment was correct, and only needs to be read backwards to reveal sentences written in rough Latin. In what Axel calls bad Latin, the message reads, In Snefflls Iokulis kraterem kem delibat umbra Skartaris Iulii intra kalendas deskende, audas uiator.
In slightly better Latin, with errors amended, In Sneffels Jokulis craterem, quem delibat umbra Scartaris, Julii intra kalendas descende, audax viator, et terrestre centrum attinges, quod feci. Arne Saknussemm Professor Lidenbrock is a man of astonishing impatience, and departs for Iceland immediately, taking his reluctant nephew with him. According to Saknussemms message, the passage to the center of the Earth is through the one crater that is touched by the shadow of a mountain peak at noon.
However, the text states that this is only true during the last days of June. During the next few days, with July rapidly approaching, the weather is too cloudy for any shadows, alas for Axel, however, on the second to last day, the sun comes out and the mountain peak shows the correct crater to take.

After taking a turn, they run out of water and Axel almost dies. Lidenbrock and Axel name the resulting stream the Hansbach in his honour, at another point, Axel becomes separated from the others and is lost several miles from them. Luckily, an acoustic phenomenon allows him to communicate with them from some miles away. After descending many miles, following the course of the Hansbach, the travelers build a raft out of trees and set sail. The Professor names this sea the Lidenbrock Sea, while on the water, they see several prehistoric creatures such as a giant Ichthyosaurus, which fights with a Plesiosaurus and wins.
Despite his wealth, Fogg lives a modest life with habits carried out with mathematical precision, very little can be said about his social life other than that he is a member of the Reform Club. Fogg and Passepartout reach Suez in time, while disembarking in Egypt, they are watched by a Scotland Yard detective, one Fix, who has been dispatched from London in search of a bank robber.
Because Fogg answers the vague description Scotland Yard was given of the robber, since he cannot secure a warrant in time, Fix boards the steamer conveying the travellers to Bombay.
Fix becomes acquainted with Passepartout without revealing his purpose, Fogg promises the steamer engineer a large reward if he gets them to Bombay early. They dock two days ahead of schedule, after reaching India they take a train from Bombay to Calcutta. Fogg learns that the Daily Telegraph article was wrong--the railroad actually ends at Kholby and starts again,50 miles further on, Fogg buys an elephant, hires a guide, and starts toward Allahabad. They come across a procession in which a young Indian woman, since the young woman is drugged with opium and hemp and is obviously not going voluntarily, the travellers decide to rescue her.

They follow the procession to the site, where Passepartout takes the place of Aoudas deceased husband on the pyre on which she is to be burned. During the ceremony he rises from the pyre, scaring off the priests, the twelve hours gained earlier are lost, but Fogg shows no regret.
The travellers hasten to catch the train at the railway station. They jump bail and Fix follows them to Hong Kong and he shows himself to Passepartout, who is delighted to again meet his travelling companion from the earlier voyage. In Hong Kong, it out that Aoudas distant relative, in whose care they had been planning to leave her, has moved to Holland. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Works by Jules Verne.
