Originaludgaven af et af Holbergs allerberømteste og hyppigst trykte og oversatte værker – en satirisk, imaginær rejsebeskrivelse. Bogen gjorde Holberg berømt i hele Europa og blev hurtigt oversat til flere sprog. Ehrencron-Müller III, 213. Paul Johansen 21, 1. Bibl. Danica IV, 441. First edition. ""Niels Klim is written in the tradition of Jonathan Swift's 'Gulliver's Travels'. The fantastic voyage underground takes Klim through adventures which afford Holberg ample opportunity to criticize contemporary society. Through exaggeration and acid paradox, Holberg satirizes religion, academia, and other institutions. The book was for many years Holberg's most popular work and has been translated into many languages."" – Houghton, Danish Litt., 41.
