An extraordinary utopian novel first published in 1871, about a race of beings living in the interior of the Earth. Having fallen into their world the narrator lives among the Vril for some time, learning a little of their science, history and political system and soon becomes convinced of their superiority due to their advanced mental and physical strength. Even small children appear wiser than their human guest.
