About Jules Verne

Jules Verne was a French novelist, poet, and playwright best known for his adventure novels, many of which feature technological innovations and scientific concepts before their time. He is often referred to as the "father of science fiction". Verne was born in Nantes, France, on February 8, 1828. He was the eldest son of Pierre Verne, a lawyer, and Sophie Allotte de la Fuÿe. Verne's father wanted him to follow in his footsteps and become a lawyer, but Verne was more interested in literature and theater. He began writing plays and short stories while he was still in school.

In 1863, Verne published his first novel, Cinq semaines en ballon (Five Weeks in a Balloon). The novel was a huge success, launching Verne's career as a science fiction writer. Verne went on to write over 60 novels, including Journey to the Center of the Earth (1864), Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea (1870), and Around the World in Eighty Days (1873).
