The opening of the book introduces us to Professor Lidenbrock, who bursts into his home in Hamburg with excitement after finding a cryptic manuscript written in runes that alludes to a journey to the center of the Earth. His quick temper and obsession with unraveling the manuscript's secrets set the stage for a thrilling adventure.
