About the Author

About The Author
Jules Verne, né le 8 février 1828 à Nantes en France et mort le 24 mars 1905 à Amiens en France, est un écrivain français dont une grande partie des œuvres est consacrée à des romans d'aventures et de science-fiction (ou d'anticipation).
En 1863 paraît chez l'éditeur Pierre-Jules Hetzel (1814-1886) son premier roman Cinq semaines en ballon qui connaît un immense succès, au-delà des frontières françaises. Lié à l'éditeur par un contrat de vingt ans, Jules Verne travaillera en fait pendant quarante ans à ses Voyages extraordinaires qui compteront 62romans et 18nouvelles et paraîtront pour une partie d'entre eux dans le Magasin d'éducation et de récréation destiné à la jeunesse. Richement documentés, les romans de Jules Verne se situent aussi bien dans le présent technologique de la deuxième moitié du XIXesiècle (Les Enfants du capitaine Grant (1868), Le Tour du monde en quatre-vingts jours (1873), Michel Strogoff (1876), L'Étoile du sud (1884), etc.) que dans un monde imaginaire (De la Terre à la Lune (1865), Vingt mille lieues sous les mers (1870), Robur le conquérant (1886), etc.)
En décembre 2014, Les Éditions des Saints Pères[1] décident de publier, pour la première fois et en tirage limité, la reproduction du manuscrit original de Vingt mille lieues sous les mers. A cette occasion, on découvre que le manuscrit s'intitulait à l'origine Vingt mille lieues sous les océans.
L'œuvre de Jules Verne est populaire dans le monde entier et, selon l'Index Translationum, avec un total de 4702traductions, il vient au deuxième rang des auteurs les plus traduits en langue étrangère après Agatha Christie. Il est ainsi en 2011 l'auteur de langue française le plus traduit dans le monde. L'année 2005 a été déclarée année Jules Verne, à l'occasion du centenaire de la mort de l'auteur.
