Summary "Jordens Inre" by Otto Witt is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around an ambitious plan proposed by Charles Montgomery to exploit the Earth's internal heat, presenting a grand vision of a utopian city built around a massive shaft. The narrative is set against the backdrop of a scientific gathering in St. Petersburg, featuring various characters, including ingeniously confident speakers and skeptical engineers, showcasing the clash between visionary ideas and practical realities. At the start of the novel, excitement fills a grand hall where Montgomery presents his audacious proposal to harness the Earth's heat, suggesting the construction of a deep shaft to access a potentially limitless energy source. Though many are captivated by his vision, a skeptical engineer raises doubts about the feasibility of Montgomery's plans, claiming they echo ideas previously posited by the astronomer Camille Flammarion. This skepticism culminates in an uproar, revealing tensions between the idealistic goals of the visionary and the practical concerns of the scientific community. The opening sets the stage for exploring themes of ambition, deception, and the human desire to conquer nature through technology. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
