About the Author

Jules Gabriel Verne (1828–1905) was a French novelist, poet, and playwright. His collaboration with the publisher Pierre-Jules Hetzel led to the creation of the Voyages Extraordinaires, a series of bestselling adventure novels including Journey to the Center of the Earth (1864), Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas (1870), and Around the World in Eighty Days (1872).

Jules Verne has often been called the Father of Science Fiction. Ray Bradbury once said, “We are all, in one way or another, the children of Jules Verne.”
