Über den Autor

Jules Verne (1828–1905) remains an iconic figure in the annals of literature, often hailed as a pioneer of science fiction whose imaginative narratives laid the groundwork for modern speculative fiction. Born in the seaport city of Nantes, France, Verne channeled his fascination with travel and technology into his writing. He pursued studies in law to appease his father, but his passion for storytelling persisted, leading to a full-time writing career, underscored by his landmark association with publisher Pierre-Jules Hetzel. Verne's talent for intertwining educational discourse with adventurous escapism is evident in 'The Collected Works of Jules Verne', a compendium that showcases his literary prowess (Verne, J.). His ingenious works often featured then-novel technologies, which he extrapolated into compelling voyages of discovery and exploration. His Voyages Extraordinaires series, including 'Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea' and 'Around the World in Eighty Days', both of which are found in aforementioned collection, not only established Verne as a distinguished storyteller but also emphasized his visionary foresight. Verne's intricate plots and vivid characters have secured his legacy, influencing countless authors and inspiring generations of inventors and explorers. Though he passed at the dawn of the 20th century, Jules Verne's work continues to enthral readers and maintains a permanent place in the literary canon.
