Many of Verne's works, especially 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, are notable for their precise and accurate scientific detail. Verne prolifically wrote about [[submarine]]s, [[airplane]]s, and interplanetary [[rockets]] in his books before those machines were invented.

== Translation ==
Unfortunately, the most common English translations of Verne's work are extremely shoddy and take great licenses with the works, adding sections, removing vast quantities of material (especially his scientific detail), and even changing characters' names and backgrounds. This is due to translators seeking to sell them to an English audience shortly after publication; the oldest translations have now become [[public domain]] and are thus most popular.
