Autor

Jules Verne (1828–1905), a French novelist, poet, and playwright, is renowned as a principal figure in the development of science fiction and is often popularly referred to as the 'Father of Science Fiction', alongside H.G. Wells. Verne's literary career was heralded by the creation of the Voyages extraordinaires, a widely applauded series of adventure novels, which include classics such as 'Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea', 'Journey to the Center of the Earth', and 'Around the World in Eighty Days'. These works not only infused the budding science fiction genre with a sense of wonder but also anticipated advancements in science and technology. Verne's pioneering use of scientific principles and accurate extrapolations within his narratives gave credence to the term 'scientific romances' as they wove meticulous research with fantastical storytelling. His 'Sci-Fi Box Set: 140+ Dystopian Novels, Space Adventures & Lost World Classics' stands as a testament to his expansive vision and enduring influence on both literature and the scientific imagination. Verne's works have been translated into numerous languages and continue to be celebrated for their innovative blend of adventure, technology, and exploration, which has made them beloved by readers of all ages and has cemented his legacy as one of the cornerstones of modern science fiction literature.
