This LT work should be the complete text of Jules Verne's 1864 novel, Journey to the Centre of the Earth. Please do not combine it with any abridgements, adaptations, young readers' versions, pop-up books, graphic novels, annotated editions, multi-title compendiums, single volumes of a multi-volume edition, or other, similar works based on the original. Thank you.
