About the Author

Jules Verne (1828-1905) was a French writer, poet and playwright. Dubbed sometimes as the Father of Science Fiction, he had a great influence on many latter day science fiction writers and scientists. Apart from other works, he wrote Voyages extraordinaire, an adventure/science fiction series of over 50 novels many of which are still highly popular among both adults and children. He is the second most translated writer in the world.
