About the author

Born in Nantes, France, in 1828, Jules Verne first studied law before moving toward writing for the stage and popular magazines. His breakthrough came in the 1860s, and his partnership with publisher Pierre-Jules Hetzel helped launch the series later known as Voyages extraordinaires.

Across novels such as Journey to the Center of the Earth, From the Earth to the Moon, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas, and Around the World in Eighty Days, he blended adventure, geography, and emerging science in a way that felt exciting and fresh. His stories often imagined new technologies and faraway exploration, which is why he is so often remembered as one of the pioneers of science fiction.

Verne spent much of his later life in Amiens and continued writing until the end of his life. He died there in 1905, but his books have never really gone out of circulation, continuing to inspire readers, filmmakers, and dreamers around the world.
