I just finished Journey to the Center of the Earth. I have attempted to read it a few times in the past and the old style of writing and bloated prose of what ever translation I had in the past just made it too hard to get into. I thought it might be better if I got a more modern translation, and boy was I right. I got the translation done last year by Matthew Jonas and I couldn’t put it down. Read the whole book in two days. I really want to give Mr. Jonas some credit, his translation was very enjoyable to read. He also has a little info on his blog about the translation and some interesting stories about the issues of the translation.
