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.
The story is set, according to the book, in the Norwegian harbor town of Bergen in 1664, after Klim returns from Copenhagen, where he has studied philosophy and theology at the University of Copenhagen and graduated magna cum laude.

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