Jules Verne (Nantes 1828 - Amiens 1905) was a French science-fiction author and a pioneer of that literary genre. His most popular books include:
- Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea
- Journey to the Center of the Earth
- Around the World in 80 Days
- The Tribulations of a Chinese in China
- From the Earth to the Moon
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 submarines, airplanes, and interplanetary rockets in his books before those machines were invented.
