Jules Gabriel Verne, born on February 8, 1828, in Nantes, France, is an iconic figure in the annals of literature, often hailed as a founding father of the science fiction genre. His body of work, which includes classics such as 'Journey to the Center of the Earth' (1864), 'Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea' (1870), and 'Around the World in Eighty Days' (1873), has fascinated readers for over a century with imaginings of futuristic technology and uncharted realms. Verne's literary style is characterized by meticulous research and visionary creativity, which he incorporated into his 'Voyages Extraordinaires' — a sequence of over fifty novels and dozens of short stories. His masterful blend of adventure, education, and prescience has inspired countless other authors and inventors. The adage that he 'invented the future' is supported by his foresights into scientific advancements, such as the submarine in 'Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea' and space travel in 'From the Earth to the Moon' (1865). Verne's impact on culture and literature endures, with his works translated into many languages and adapted into numerous films and television series. His legacy is one of imagination without bounds, encouraging humanity to explore the unknown frontiers of the physical world and beyond. A prolific writer, Verne passed away on March 24, 1905, but his imagination, as compiled in collections like 'The Greatest Adventure Books of All Time - Jules Verne Collection', continues to spark the curiosity and adventure in readers of all ages.
