Journey to the Centre of the Earth (1864) by Jules Verne with Cian Gill

In this weeks episode I head underground with The Lost Valley’s Cian Gill to trace how Jules Verne turns geology, ciphers and sheer wonder became the template for every lost world adventure. Along the way we talk about deep time dread, dodgy Victorian translations, and the sea-dragon spectacle that still makes modern monster stories work.GuestsCian [email protected] Book Episode Congo Movie EpisodeThe BookJourney to the Centre of the EarthF.A.
