Ayant élu domicile au fond de la mine avec sa femme et son fils, Ford déclare avoir fait une découverte permettant de ré-exploiter la mine. De multiples phénomènes troublants vont se produire, une jeune fille apeurée et mourante sera découverte, et divers dangers menaceront la mine et ses nouveaux habitants.

If possible find an original edition. I was lucky to find one in the public library. Two years ago I wanted to purchase a copy for myself. I found one, it was a very bad copy. it looked like someone at a computer copied it without regar do proper cutting, pasting or word processing. I regreted spending the money for it. However, I still have vivid memories of my feelings as I read the first copy. loved it. Hope to find a good copy this time.

This was very short, it took me less than 40 minutes to read it. The tale was interesting enough, but not one of Verne's best works. I wouldn't go out of your way to buy it, but if someone has it laying around you might as well give it a shot.

I was expecting a more "supernatural" story like Journey to the Center of the Earth, but this was an OK read for a quick book.
