Autor

Jules Verne, born Jules Gabriel Verne on February 8, 1828, in Nantes, France, is often heralded as one of the founders of science fiction, a literary genre that foregrounds imaginative and futuristic concepts often rooted in scientific principles. Verne's works are distinguished by his prescient visions of technology and exploration—themes that surface prominently in his celebrated Voyages extraordinaires series, which includes classics like 'Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea' (1870), 'Journey to the Center of the Earth' (1864), and 'Around the World in Eighty Days' (1873). Though 'American Civil War Collection' is attributed to him, it must be noted that it is not commonly recognized as part of his core oeuvre, which could indicate a collection of works by multiple authors or a miscategorization. Verne's literary style is marked by detailed attention to scientific accuracy and thrilling adventure narratives, often focusing on characters who push the boundaries of the known world. His work has had a significant and lasting impact on both literature and the popular imagination, inspiring countless writers, inventors, and filmmakers. Verne passed away on March 24, 1905, in Amiens, France, leaving behind a legacy that would immortalize him as one of the great pioneers of science fiction and adventure literature.
