Bio
Jules Verne was a French novelist, poet, and playwright best known for the Voyages extraordinaires, a sequence of adventure novels that includes Journey to the Center of the Earth, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas, and Around the World in Eighty Days. In collaboration with publisher Pierre‑Jules Hetzel he perfected a "novel of science" that married meticulous research and contemporary technology with gripping narratives, while also producing plays, short stories and essays. Verne’s vividly imagined journeys helped define modern adventure literature, shaped early science fiction and steampunk sensibilities, and inspired generations of writers, explorers and scientists. His novels—universally adapted across film, theater and other media—remain among the most translated and influential in world literature.
