Een van de meest fascinerende reizen in de literatuur. "Naar het middelpunt der aarde" is de tweede avontuur van Jules Verne in een lange serie die hij zijn hele leven zou schrijven. Verne had ongetwijfeld een avontuurlijke geest die af en toe naar buiten wilde. In dit verhaal belichaamt de Franse schrijver de professor Lidenbrock, een excentrieke Duitse wetenschapper, en zijn neef Axel, een jonge wees en leerling-geoloog die onder zijn bescherming leeft. Het doel van hun avontuur is te bewijzen dat men het centrum van de aarde kan bereiken door de sporen te volgen van Arne Saknussemm, een 16e-eeuwse schrijver en ontdekkingsreiziger die een geheim manuscript heeft achtergelaten met de sleutels voor de expeditie. Met dit uitgangspunt neemt Verne ons mee in een verhaal vol bizarre avonturen en voortdurende verrassingen die de protagonisten tot het uiterste testen. De geschiedenis wordt verteld door Axel, die zijn herinneringen aan de reis wil delen in de vorm van een soort reisdagboek.
