Jules Verne
Jules Verne was a French novelist, poet, and playwright best known for his adventure novels and his profound influence on the literary genre of science fiction. Indeed, his Voyages extraordinaires, a series of scrupulously researched adventure novels including Journey to the Center of the Earth, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, and Around the World in Eighty Days, have since seen him hailed as the "Father of Science Fiction".
