The Styriarte festival loved his readings to music.

An Adventure Journey with Peter Simonischek

Today’s action films cannot compare: the adventure that Professor Lidenbrock and his nephew Axel have to endure on their journey to the center of the earth sounds like a combination of “Jurassic Park” and “Indiana Jones”. The two survive the battle of the dinosaurs unscathed, the storm on the primeval sea and a thousand other dangers, with the help of their brave Icelandic guide. In Iceland they go deep into the earth; off the coast of Sicily they are spat out again. Peter Simonischek tells Jules Verne’s famous story with inimitable vocal skill.
