Jules Gabriel Verne (8 February 1828 – 24 March 1905) was a French novelist, poet, and playwright. He is best known for his adventure novels and his profound influence on the literary genre of science fiction. Born to bourgeois parents in the seaport of Nantes, Verne was trained to follow in his father’s footsteps as a lawyer, but quit the profession early in life to write for magazines and the stage. His collaboration with the publisher Pierre-Jules Hetzel led to the creation of the Voyages Extraordinaires, a widely popular series of scrupulously researched adventure novels including Journey to the Centre of the Earth, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, and Around the World in Eighty Days. Verne is generally considered a major literary author in France and most of Europe, where he has had a wide influence on the literary avant-garde and on surrealism. His reputation is markedly different in Anglophone regions, where he has often been labelled a children’s author or a writer of genre fiction, not least because of the highly abridged and altered translations in which his novels are often reprinted. His works appear in more translations per year than those of any other writer. Verne was one writer who was called “The Father of Science Fiction,” as are H. G. Wells and Hugo Gernsback.
