About the author

Jules Verne

1828–1905

A master of adventure fiction, he turned bold scientific ideas into stories of submarines, moon voyages, and journeys to the center of the Earth. His novels helped shape modern science fiction while keeping the sense of wonder and danger that still draws readers in.
