This paper discusses how that in "
Journey to the Center of the Earth" and "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea", Jules Verne shows
his characters on a
journey in which they emerge more knowledgeable about the real world. The author also examines the differences between the two novels and Verne's other adventure novel, "Around the World in 80 Days". The paper also looks at the criticism that Jules Verne's science
fiction received.
