Verne, Jules: Journey to the Centre of the Earth

Beschreibung / Inhalt
Das Dokument thematisiert das Buch „Reise zum Mittelpunkt der Erde“ von Jules Verne. Es beginnt mit einer kurzen Einführung in den Autor, der als Begründer der modernen Science-Fiction gilt. Der Schwerpunkt liegt auf der Zusammenfassung der Handlung des Buches, in der der Geologe Professor Lidenbrock mit seinem Neffen Axel und dem Führer Hans eine Reise zum Mittelpunkt der Erde unternimmt. Im weiteren Verlauf wird der Science-Fiction-Aspekt des Buches thematisiert und es wird auf die Problematik der Erforschung des Erdinneren eingegangen. Es werden verschiedene Methoden vorgestellt, mit denen Wissenschaftler versuchen, herauszufinden, was sich im Erdinneren befindet, u.a. durch Sonden und Satelliten. Allerdings fehlt den Wissenschaftlern oft das Geld, um ihre Forschung auszuführen. Das Dokument endet mit der Feststellung, dass Science-Fiction-Elemente wie die Reise zum Erdinneren zu einem gewissen Grad möglich sein könnten, während Fantasy-Elemente nicht realisierbar sind.

He was an optimist about the progress of science, all the scientists in his books were strong men who knew a lot and tried to progress as much as possible.
