At the Earth's Core by Edgar Rice Burroughs:

At The Earth's Core
(Book 1 in the Pellucidar Series)

At The Earth’s Core and it’s mysterious world of Pellucidar was first serialized in All-Story Weekly magazine in 1914.

With this series, Burroughs created a secret prehistoric world five hundred miles beneath the earth’s surface that has eternal daylight, prehistoric beasts and primitive people; where the horizon curves upward and time stands still under a miniature sun that stands motionless in the sky. Throughout this savage world are communities of warring tribes and one of Burroughs’ most fascinating creations, the highly evolved reptilian Mahars. (Note: a comprehensive glossary of all things Pelluciar starts on Page 87.)

David Innes and his inventor friend, Abner Perry, set out on a trial run in Perry’s invention, the iron mole, with hopes of locating new beds of anthracite coal. Once in motion, however, they are unable to change the prospector’s course and travel five hundred miles towards the center of the Earth.

Expecting to meet eternal fires, the two instead emerge into a new world. Attacked by a dyryth, carried off by apemen, and then captured by Sagoths, the gorilla-like servants of the Mahars, their weird adventures are nonstop.

As Innes and Perry and the beautiful Dian struggle to untie the primitive humans of Pellucidar they are confronted with enough adventures to keep the reader breathless as this amazing world unfolds.

Pellucidar by Edgar Rice Burroughs:

Pellucidar
(Book 1 in the Pellucidar Series)

Pellucidar appeared as a 5-part serial in All-Story Cavalier Weekly (which changed its name during the run to All-Story Weekly) May 1-29, 1915. The book was published Sept 5, 1923 by A.C.McClurg & Co.Picking up where the first adventure, At The Earth’s Core left off, Pellucidar tells the story of David Innes’ return to Inner Earth.

The iron mole departs from the Sahara Desert and emerges in an unknown region of the Earth’s core. There, Innes wanders through vast uninhabited regions in search of a man or tribe who can direct him to Sari, the capital of his fledgling kingdom.Innes saves Abner Perry, who was being pursued by Sagoths. With the goal of finding Dian the Beautiful One in Sari, the two cross the Mountains of the Clouds, narrowly surviving the cold, unforgiving landscape.

After many adventures they begin the task of modernization of Pelluciar.As adventure stories go, this second book in the Pellucidar series is perhaps a cut below the others. However, as a continuation of the series it carries the story forward to the new adventures in this essential series for all Burroughs fans. (Note: a comprehensive glossary of all things Pelluciar starts on Page 101.)

Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson:

The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde

The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll1 and Mr. Hyde became an immediate best-seller in Great Britain and America when it was published in 1886. The novel has also earned accolades from the academic community for its artistic style and penetrating psychological themes.

In the first six months, 40,000 copies were sold. Queen Victoria read it. Sermons and editorials were written about it. The story is about a lawyer, Charles Utterson, who investigates the strange link the misanthropic man Edward Hyde has to his friend, Dr. Henry Jekyll. His investigation begins as a matter of curiosity and concern despite Jekyll’s assurances that Hyde is nothing to worry about.

That changes when Hyde is seen committing a savage murder of a respected Member of Parliament. As Utterson assists in the investigation of the crime, Jekyll becomes more and more reclusive and sombre as Utterson comes to believe that the doctor is aiding Mr. Hyde.

Compulsively readable from its opening pages, The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde is still one of the best tales ever written about the divided self. Stevenson’s concept, inspired by a nightmare, and the vivid language he uses to convey it, are what impress the most upon the reader.
