This translation begins:
On 24 May 1863, which was a Sunday, my uncle, Professor Lidenbrock, came rushing back towards his little house, No. 19 Königstrasse, one of the oldest streets in the old quarter of Hamburg.
Martha must have thought that she was very behindhand, for the dinner was only beginning to sizzle on the kitchen stove.
