In 1864, Jules Verne's novel, Journey to the Centre of the Earth, was published. As the second book in the series Voyages extraordinaries, published between 1863 and 1910, this novel continued his use of "combin[ing] scientific facts with adventure fiction...[which] laid the ground work for science fiction" (Bauer & Cathy).
