Jules Verne (1828–1905), a pioneering figure in the annals of science fiction and adventure literature, is acknowledged for his profound influence on these genres. Born in Nantes, France, Verne manifested a penchant for travel and storytelling at an early age, pursuits that later crystallized into his prolific writing career. Educated in law, he shifted his focus to literature, entwining scientific knowledge with his vivid imagination. Verne’s writing is characterized by meticulous research and prescient technological predictions, contributing to the genre that would become known as ‘scientific fiction’, which he helped to establish with his popular ‘Voyages extraordinaires’ series.
His oeuvre, collected posthumously as ‘The Complete Works of Jules Verne’, encompasses over 60 novels and short stories, including seminal works such as ‘Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea’, ‘Journey to the Center of the Earth’, and ‘Around the World in Eighty Days’. These novels not only captured the zeitgeist of the Industrial Revolution but also continue to resonate with contemporary audiences, epitomizing the timeless allure of exploration and innovation. Verne’s literary style combines adventure with didactic expositions, a blend that educates while it enthralls. His legacy endures, as his works remain influential in literature, film, and popular culture, making him one of the most translated authors in history and earning him the moniker ‘Father of Science Fiction’ alongside H.G. Wells.
