About the author

Born in Nantes, France, on February 8, 1828, Jules Verne became a novelist, poet, and playwright whose work helped lay the groundwork for modern science fiction. He is especially associated with the series known as Voyages extraordinaires, created in partnership with publisher Pierre-Jules Hetzel.

His best-known books include Journey to the Center of the Earth, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, and Around the World in Eighty Days. Verne’s fiction mixed fast-moving adventure with geography, invention, and speculation about science, which helped make his books popular with generations of readers around the world.

He died on March 24, 1905, in Amiens, France. More than a century later, his stories remain central to the history of imaginative literature and are still widely translated and adapted.
