Niels Klim's Underground Travels published in Latin as Nicolai Klimii Iter Subterraneum, is a satirical science-fiction/fantasy novel written by the Norwegian author Ludvig Holberg. His only novel, it describes a utopian society from an outsider's point of view, pokes fun at diverse cultural and social topics such as morality, sexual equality, religion and philosophy; the novel starts with a foreword that assures that everything in the story is a real account of the title character's exploits in the Underworld. The story is set, according to the book, in the Norwegian harbor town of Bergen in 1664, after Klim returns from Copenhagen, where he has studied philosophy and theology at the University of Copenhagen and graduated magna cum laude, his curiosity drives him to investigate a strange cave in a mountainside above the town, which sends out regular gusts of warm air. He ends up falling down the hole, after a while he finds himself floating in free space. After a few days of orbiting the planet which revolves around the inner sun, he is attacked by a gryphon, he falls down on the planet, named Nazar.

There he wanders about for a short while, this time by an ox. He climbs up into a tree, to his astonishment the tree can move and talk, he is taken prisoner by tree-like creatures with up to six arms and faces just below the branches, he is accused of attempted rape on the town clerk's wife, is put on trial. The case is dismissed and he is set by the Lord of Potu to learn the language. Klim learns the language of the Potuans, but this reflects badly on him when the Lord is about to issue him a job, because the Potuans believe that if one perceives a problem at a slow rate, the better it will be understood and solved. But, since he has longer legs than the Potuans, who walk slowly, he is set to be the Lord's personal courier, delivering letters and suchlike. During the course of the book, Klim vividly chronicles the culture of the Potuans, their religion, their way of life and the many different countries located on Nazar. After his two-month-long circumnavigation on foot, he is appalled by the fact that men and women are equal and share the same kind of jobs, so he files a suggestion to the Lord of Potu to remove women from higher positions in society.

His suggestion is poorly received and he is sentenced to be exiled to the inner rim of the Earth's crust. There he becomes familiar with a country inhabited by sentient monkeys, after a few years he becomes emperor of the land of Quama, inhabited by the only creatures in the Underworld that look like humans. There, he fathers a son, but again he is driven from hearth and home due to his tyranny and as he escapes he falls into a hole, which carries him through the crust and back up to Bergen again. There, he is mistaken by the townsfolk to be the Wandering Jew due to a lingual misunderstanding, he learns that he has been away for twelve years, is taken in by his old friend, mayor Abelin, who writes down everything Klim tells him. He receives a job as principal of the college of Bergen, marries. Holberg knew that the satirical content of the novel would cause an uproar in Denmark-Norway, so the book was first published in Germany, in Latin, he thus got a broader audience. The novel made him acclaimed across Europe.

Danish, German and Dutch translations were published in 1741. The book is significant in the history of science fiction, being one of the first science-fiction novels in history along with Johannes Kepler's Somnium, Cyrano de Bergerac's Comical History of the States and Empires of the Moon, Jonathan Swift's Gulliver's Travels, Voltaire's Micromégas. Along with a number of those stories, an excerpt was included in the anthology The Road to Science Fiction, Volume 1: From Gilgamesh to Wells; the work is referenced in Poe's "The Fall of the House of Usher". It is one of the first science fiction novels to use the Hollow Earth concept; the Danish Communist author and artist Hans Scherfig created a graphic retelling of "Niels Klims underjordiske rejse", published in the Danish newspaper Land og folk from 3 July 1955 to 21 January 1956 and as a book at Sirius Publishing House, Denmark in October 1961. The story was adapted to a costly 3 episode TV-series for The Danish Broadcasting Corporation in 1984, starring actor Frits Helmuth in the title role.

In one chapter, Klim refers to Pliny the Elder and his Naturalis Historia when he feels that his descriptions of the Underworld inhabitants would seem too incredible for other humans to believe. There are a few characters in the book. Niels Klim was employed at a church in downtown Bergen, as bellringer, he was a retailer of books and a publisher. Klim's friend in the book, Mayor Abelin, was a real person named Rasmus Christenssen Abelin, he was mayor of Bergen in Klim's lifetime.

Live at the Star Club is a 1964 live album by rock and roll pianist Jerry Lee Lewis and The Nashville Teens. The album was recorded at the Star-Club in Hamburg, Germany on April 5, 1964, it is regarded by many music journalists as one of the greatest rock and roll albums noted for its hard-hitting energy and Lewis' wild stage presence. The album appears in the book 1001 Albums. Live at the Star Club was produced by Siggi Loch, head of the jazz department at Philips Records. In Joe Bonomo's book Lost And Found, Loch states that "... I realized that there were all of these young British, bands who were playing Chuck Berry and other white American rock & rollers, their big heroes... And I went to the owner and made a proposal to start recording bands at the Star-Club, which I did." According to Loch the recording setup was uncomplicated, with microphones placed as close to the instruments as possible with a stereo mike placed in the audience to capture the ambience. The results were sonically astonishing, with Bonomo observing that "Detractors complain of the album's crashing noisiness, the lack of subtlety with which Jerry Lee revisits the songs, the fact that the piano is mixed too loudly, but what is certain is that Siggi Loch on this spring evening captured something brutally honest about the Killer, about the primal and timeless center of the best rock & roll..."

Sixteen songs were recorded over two sets, the first set comprising "Down The Line," "You Win Again," "High School Confidential," "Your Cheatin' Heart," "Great Balls of Fire," "What'd I Say, "Mean Woman Blues." The second set featured "Good Golly Miss Molly," "Matchbox," "Money," "Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On," "Lewis Boogie," "Hound Dog," "Long Tall Sally" and "I'm On Fire." "Down The Line," omitted on the original LP due to a sound fault at the beginning, was released on French Mercury single Les Rois du Rock, Vol. 8: Jerry Lee Lewis and included on CD and LP releases of Bear Family Records. The tapes for "You Win Again" and "I'm On Fire" are believed to have been lost. For decades the album was available only in Europe due to legal constraints. In 2014, Lewis told biographer Rick Bragg "Oh, a big monster record" but that the record company "never paid me a penny." Speaking to Patrick Doyle of Rolling Stone in 2014, Lewis remained proud that he "stuck with rock & roll when the rest of them didn't, I kept the ball rollin' with that."

Live at the Star Club, Hamburg is regarded as one of the greatest live rock and roll albums made. Recorded during his "wilderness years" following the fallout surrounding his 1958 marriage to his thirteen-year-old first cousin once removed Myra, the album showcases Lewis's phenomenal skills as a pianist and singer, honed by relentless touring. In a 5-out-of-5 stars review, Milo Miles raved in Rolling Stone that "Live At The Star Club, Hamburg is not an album, it's a crime scene: Jerry Lee Lewis slaughters his rivals in a thirteen-song set that feels like one long convulsion. Recorded April 5th, 1964, this is the earliest and most feral of Lewis' concert releases from his wilderness years...". Q Magazine commented "This might be the most exciting performance recorded...". The album was included in Mojo's "The 67 Lost Albums You Must Own!" - "n unbelievably seismic document of rock'n' roll so demonic and primal it can keep its stage suit on.... It's up there with James Brown's great live albums."AllMusic said of the album: "Words cannot describe - cannot contain - the performance captured on Live at the Star Club, Hamburg, an album that contains the essence of rock & roll...

Live at the Star Club is extraordinary - the purest, hardest rock & roll committed to record... He sounds possessed, hitting the keys so hard it sounds like they'll break, rocking harder than anybody had before or since. Compared to this, thrash metal sounds tame, the Stooges sound constrained, hardcore punk seems neutered, the Sex Pistols sound like wimps. Rock & roll is about the fire in the performance, nothing sounds as fiery as this, it is no stretch to call this the greatest live album nor is it a stretch to call it the greatest rock & roll album recorded. So, words can't describe the music here — it has to be heard to be believed."Joe Bonomo calls "Mean Woman Blues", the opening number on the album, as "nothing short of a concert in itself". Author Colin Escott describes Lewis's performance of the Hank Williams classic "Your Cheatin' Heart" as a one-man tour-de-force, "a stunning fusion of everything, Jerry Lee Lewis; the bluesy piano licks thrown into the middle of the stone hillbilly classic and a vocal of scorching intensity."

" In the 2014 book Jerry Lee Lewis: His Own Story Rick Bragg marvels that on Live at the Star Club, the piano "sounds like its breaking at times, like he is playing more with a tack hammer than flesh and blood" and deems it "one of the grittiest, most spectacular pieces of recorded music made."
