About the author (1876)

Quite possibly the most influential figure in science-fiction history, French novelist Jules Verne specialized in imaginative stories of daring characters venturing into inhospitable environments. Although Verne studied law, he was intent on becoming a successful writer and achieved that goal with a series of fantastical books that included A Journey to the Center of the Earth and Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea, tales that inspired real-life explorers and a legion of admiring authors.
