About this audiobook
"Niels Klim's Underground Travels" (1741), originally published in Latin, is a satirical science-fiction/fantasy novel written by Ludvig Holberg.

The novel starts with a foreword that assures that everything in the story is a real account of the title character's exploits in the Underworld.

He ends up falling down the hole, and after a while he finds himself floating in free space…
