How can humans survive and prosper 1500 feet below the earth's surface? Jules Verne successfully weaves a dark, yet magnificent story into this equally dark world. The story takes place in a revived and now prosperous coal mine. Amazingly, life in the mine has everything that one desires, including a lake, fish and attractive homes. Yet there lurks an evil presence. Unexplainable, malicious, and life threatening occurrences begin. But why? The evil force could destroy the underground world and everyone in it!

The Underground City
Review of East Palace, West Palace, 1 out of 3 novellas in this book.
From a reading-for-entertainment point of view, I can't say that I liked this story. The plot is developed in a convoluted manner, without chronology. There's also a story inside the story that serves as a metaphor. Then, there's the content that is really quite disturbing and sad, all wrapped in some positivity and enticement that I find unbefitting.
Trigger warnings for homophobia, misogyny, rape, torture, captivity.
Good thing, I didn't read this for pleasure, then. For my bachelor thesis on relations between gender and homosexual practices in Chinese fiction, I am still looking for more stories to analyse, and this story is worth a second look at least.
Um, cannot recommend. Well, only if you want to read this for scientific or educational reasons ;-)
