Об авторе
Jules Verne (1828–1905), a French novelist, poet, and playwright, is renowned for his adventure novels and his profound influence on the nascent science fiction genre. His innovative combination of science, prophecy, and adventure has landed him the often-cited title of ‘Father of Science Fiction’, though he is frequently seen as a bridge between the literary genres of fantasy and science fiction. Verne’s writing career flourished with the publication of his adventure stories in the ‘Voyages Extraordinaires’ series, which included classics such as ‘Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea’ and ‘Journey to the Center of the Earth’. His oeuvre demonstrates an exceptional imagination, reflective of the 19th-century optimism about scientific progress, and often features explorers overcoming great obstacles in a world that still held many mysteries and uncharted territories. Although ‘Captain Antifer’ may not be as well-known as Verne’s seminal works, it encapsulates his literary style featuring thrilling quests, enigmatic puzzles, and a passion for geographical accuracy. Verne’s writing has had a lasting legacy, inspiring generations of writers, scientists, and inventors, and continues to captivate readers with his visions of technological achievements and adventures in far-off lands.
