Summary "At the Earth's Core" by Edgar Rice Burroughs is a science fiction novel written during the early 20th century. The story follows the adventures of David Innes, a young man who, after a series of unexpected events, finds himself in a strange and prehistoric world beneath the Earth's surface, known as Pellucidar. Along with his companion, Perry, he encounters a variety of creatures and civilizations, exploring themes of exploration, survival, and the clash between primitive societies and human intellect. The beginning of the novel introduces readers to David Innes, who recounts his previous life and how he came to be on a mining expedition with his inventor friend Perry. After a disastrous test of a mechanical prospector—a device designed to burrow through the Earth’s crust—they unexpectedly emerge in Pellucidar, a fantastical world filled with giant creatures and primitive tribes. As they navigate this new environment, they face challenges not only from the land and its inhabitants but also from their own survival instincts. The prologue sets the tone for an adventurous tale marked by a struggle for freedom, with hints of social commentary on human evolution and civilization emerging as David seeks both to survive and to understand his strange new surroundings.
