About the Author

Jules Gabriel Verne was a French author, poet, and playwright who lived from 8 February 1828 to 24 March 1905. His association with publisher Pierre-Jules Hetzel resulted in the Voyages extraordinaires, a bestselling series of adventure novels that included Journey to the Center of the Earth (1864), 20 Thousand Leagues Under the Oceans (1870), and Around the Globe in eighty days (1872). His books, which are always thoroughly documented, are generally set in the second half of the nineteenth century, taking into consideration the time's technological achievements. He also created plays, short tales, autobiographical narratives, poetry, songs, and scientific, artistic, and literary studies in addition to his novels. Since the dawn of cinema, his work has been adapted for film and television, as well as comic books, theater, opera, music, and video games. Verne is regarded as a prominent author in France and throughout Europe, where he had a significant impact on the literary avant-garde and surrealism. His reputation in the Anglosphere was dramatically different, where he was frequently branded as a writer of genre fiction or children's literature, owing to the greatly abbreviated and altered versions in which his works were frequently printed. His literary reputation has grown since the 1980s.
