O autoru

Jules Verne (1828–1905) is often heralded as a father of science fiction, a master of adventure literature, and a visionary whose works continue to enthrall readers with their daring exploration of the unknown. Born in Nantes, France, Verne channeled his early fascination with travel and exploration into his writing. His proficiency in crafting compelling narratives is best exemplified in the monumental collection '180 Classics You Must Read In Your Lifetime (Vol.1)', which although not an original Verne title, suggests inclusion of his seminal works. Verne's bibliography is replete with influential titles such as 'Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea', 'Journey to the Center of the Earth', and 'Around the World in Eighty Days'. These classics belong to his 'Voyages Extraordinaires' series, a sequence of books aiming to catalog the entire realm of the known and imaginable world with keen scientific accuracy embellished with romanticized adventure. Verne's literary style often intertwined detailed technological concepts and meticulous research, earning him a place as a pioneer of the science fiction genre. His writing not only opened gateways to fantastic realms but also speculated on technological advances—submarines, space travel, and air travel—long before they became realities. His legacy continues to inspire and his works remain a cornerstone in literary education and popular culture.
