---------------------------------------------------------------

As long as the earth provides an opening, there is something new to discover.

On the other side of the rock wall, outside the narrow road where the wind howls, in the heart of the mountains, in the open vertical shafts in the green forest, and in the glittering caves of the glacier, there is a desire hidden everywhere, a desire to explore the unknown.

Following Sauro's searchlight, a bewildering subterranean world slowly unfolds before our eyes: vast empty chambers, towering waterfalls, luminous creatures, mysterious echoes, dreamy crystal caves, hellish steam, primitive ritual sculptures, abandoned skeletons, and pervasive darkness and the unknown. The underworld is both terrifying and enchanting, stirring anxiety while seemingly delivering a revelation: the depths of the world and the vastness of space are one and the same.

The stone rolled all the way to an unknown direction, and the sound of it rolling told us that a new adventure was about to begin...

The earth hides the final frontier of Earth's exploration. A humble crack in the rock may lead to a new world. Journey to the Center of the Earth perfectly blends the daring adventure of youth with the pursuit of new knowledge through scientific exploration. The dark underworld is incredibly beautiful and rich. To discover it, you must challenge your physical and intellectual limits. This exploration not only leads us to the boundaries of our planet, but also to the boundaries of our humanity. —Luo Xin (Professor of History, Peking University)

The world beneath the Earth's surface is as mysterious and vast as the universe itself. Saul's Journey to the Center of the Earth changed the way I see the world and myself.

—Liu Zichao (travel writer and translator, representative work: The Lost Satellite)

Humanity's scientific journey to explore the Earth's inner world is also a spiritual journey of searching within and returning to the self. In this work, which resembles a prose poem, the author uses spiritual language to invite us to an eye-opening journey into the underground world.

Song Mingwei (senior outdoor media professional, former editor-in-chief of Outdoor Adventure magazine)

"Journey to the Center of the Earth" is a true account of the growth of a cave explorer. Cave explorer Francesco Sauro recounts his cave exploration experiences and the direction of his research. Humans first emerged from caves to explore oceans and continents, and now they are once again exploring caves in pursuit of knowledge. The author has also set his sights on caves on the moon and Mars, where humans may one day find the key to unlocking higher dimensions. —Extreme Exploration Wang Hao (renowned explorer and popular UP host)
