5.0 out of 5 stars
Fantastical literature,
By Michael A. Duvernois (Minneapolis, MN United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Journey of Niels Klim to the World Underground (Bison Frontiers of Imagination) (Paperback)
This is the first "journey into the hollow Earth" novel. Written shortly after Gulliver's Travels, by a Danish author. Much less satirical than Gulliver, this is still a mix of philosophical comment and adventure. Though adventures there are aplenty with warring birds, talking instruments, intelligent trees, and a sort of mini-solar system in the very center of the Earth.
Bison Frontiers of Imagination have been diligently reprinting the often lost or ignored "science fiction" of the past. Here we have the first journey into the hollow Earth written by a contemporary of Jonathan Swift, but a largely forgotten book. Pick it up, no one you know has read it... |
