About this book
Creators: Ludvig Holberg (1684-1754) and John Gierlow [Translator] "Niels Klim's journey under the ground" by Ludvig Holberg is a satirical science-fiction novel published in 1741. When a curious philosophy student investigates a mysterious cave in Bergen, he falls through the earth and discovers an inner world orbiting a subterranean sun. There he encounters walking, talking trees, explores utopian societies with radically different values, and faces exile for challenging their customs. His twelve-year journey through this underground realm becomes a biting commentary on religion, government, equality, and human nature. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
