Chapter 1 – Professor Lidenbrock
Professor Lidenbrock is my uncle. On May 24, 1863, he hurried home to his small house in Hamburg. Martha, the housekeeper, was worried because lunch was not ready yet. She opens the dining room door and shouts that Mr. Lidenbrock is already there. I reply that the food can still cook for a while. Martha hurries back to the kitchen.
Just as I am about to withdraw, I hear him quickly going up the stairs to his study. He calls to me to come to him. Before I can get up, he calls impatiently to ask why I am not there yet.
I hurry to go to the study. Although he is not a bad person, he is very opinionated. He is a professor and lectures on mineralogy. He often gets agitated while teaching. He doesn't care if his students attend his lectures or make progress. He gives the lectures more for himself than for others.
Unfortunately, my uncle does not speak well when he speaks in public. Sometimes he stops in mid-sentence because he is struggling with a difficult word. Sometimes he even swears. Mineralogy uses many complicated terms that are difficult to pronounce. This jargon can trip up even the most nimble tongue.
People in town know about this weakness and often make fun of it.
Nevertheless, my uncle is a true scholar. He combines the talent of a geologist with the eye of a mineralogist. He can place any metal in one of the known categories. Important scientists such as Humphry Davy and Humboldt have visited him. He has made significant contributions to chemistry. Lidenbrock also manages the mineralogical museum of the Russian envoy Struve.
He is tall, looks younger than he is, and wears glasses. He has a long nose. He takes big steps and shows a lively temperament. His household includes his godmother Gretchen, the housekeeper Martha, and me, his nephew and assistant. I help him with his geological experiments because I have a keen interest in mineralogy. Although my uncle is impatient, his house is a pleasant place to be.
Chapter 2 – An old document
My uncle has a museum as a study. All the minerals are neatly sorted here. I have often preferred to clean this collection than to play outside. All the metals are there and so many stones that you can build a whole house with them.
But when I enter his study, he is sitting deep in his velvet chair, admiring a book. “What a book!” he exclaims. He loves books, especially when they are old and rare. He is enthusiastic about this book he has found and praises it. “See how beautiful it is? It is so well preserved!”
I pretend to be thrilled, too. But then I ask him about the content of the book.
“This is the Heimskringla by Snorro Sturleson, an Icelander.”
I try to sound interested and praise the beauty of the letters. My uncle quickly corrects me. These are not printed letters, but runes. He is fascinated by these old characters.
Suddenly, a dirty parchment falls out of the book. My uncle spreads it out carefully and looks at the incomprehensible scribble on it.
The runes are identical to those in Snorri's manuscript. He is confused and mutters that it must be old Icelandic. As he is about to give vent to his annoyance, the clock strikes two. Martha enters the room and says that the soup is served. My uncle shouts angrily that he doesn't care about the soup. Martha flees and I automatically follow her into the dining room. For the first time, my uncle is not there in time for dinner.
There is an excellent lunch on the table.
As his nephew, I feel I should eat for both of us. I do it conscientiously.
Martha, the housekeeper, is surprised and worried because Mr. Lidenbrock is not at the table.
“I've never seen anything like it!” she says.
I'm just finishing my last bite when my uncle's loud voice distracts me from the delights of dessert. I jump up and rush to his study.
Chapter 3 – The parchment of Arne Saknussemm
“It seems to be written in runes,” says the professor, frowning. “I will uncover this secret, otherwise...” He makes a fierce hand gesture.
“Sit down and write,” he orders, pointing to the table.
“I am going to dictate every letter to you. Let's see what comes out.”
He begins to dictate, and I concentrate very hard. He names the letters one after the other, and so incomprehensible words emerge. When we're done, my uncle quickly grabs the sheet I've written on.
“What does this mean?” he asks mechanically.
To be honest, I don't know either. But he doesn't ask me any further and speaks to himself. “This is what we call a secret writing,” he explains. “If we arrange the letters in the correct order, we get a comprehensible sentence. Perhaps it contains the clue to a great discovery.”
Personally, I think there is nothing to it, but I keep my opinion to myself.
Then the professor takes the book and the parchment and compares them.
