About the author

Jules Verne (1828–1905), a French novelist, poet, and playwright, is renowned for his adventure novels and his profound influence on the literary genre of science fiction. Born in the seaport of Nantes, Verne had a lifelong passion for the sea and exploration, which he coupled with his fascination for technological advancements. His literary endeavors began in theatre, but his lasting fame comes from his extraordinary series of books, 'Voyages Extraordinaires,' which includes such classics as 'Journey to the Center of the Earth' (1864), 'Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea' (1870), and 'Around the World in Eighty Days' (1873). These books not only entertained with exploration adventures but were prophetic in their depiction of then-imaginary scientific inventions, which became realities in the 20th century. Verne's work, characterised by meticulous research and scientific rigor, positions him as a bridge between the literary worlds of Romanticism and Modernism. His ability to foresee future technological developments renders his works timeless, continually resonating with contemporary audiences. While '180 Masterpieces of World Literature (Vol.1)' is an unusual reference given Verne's extensive bibliography, it likely refers to a collection where his notable works are considered within the context of global literary achievements. Verne's contributions to literature have made him the second most translated author in the world, fostering a legacy that endures well beyond his time.
