In Paris, Jules Verne publishes his third novel, relating a scientific expedition to the center of the Earth.

Probably completed between January and August 1864, Jules Verne's fictional account of a small group of scientists descending to the center of the Earth through a volcano was published in Paris on this date. Journey to the Center of the Earth was Verne's third novel and also the third for his publisher Pierre-Jules Hetzel, who Verne made very rich.  (By John Osborne)
