Autor

Jules Verne, born on February 8, 1828, in Nantes, France, is heralded as a founder of the science fiction genre due to his transformative works that melded exploration with technology-fueled adventures (Evans, 2001). With a legal education background, Verne turned to writing in his twenties, capturing the Victorian fin de siècle's spirit with an imagination that appeared boundless, as evidenced by his seminal series 'Voyages Extraordinaires' (Robinson, 1995). His tales often featured extraordinary journeys, showcased in classics such as 'Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea', 'Around the World in Eighty Days', and 'Journey to the Center of the Earth'. A meticulous researcher, Verne incorporated the era's latest scientific knowledge and technological innovations into his work, hence prefiguring modern speculative fiction (Unwin, 2005). 'The Best SF Books - Jules Verne Edition' presumably includes his critically lauded science fiction novels, which continue to captivate readers with their visionary foresight and narrative prowess. His literature not only entertains but also inspires scientific inquiry and exploration, a testament to his lasting influence on both the literary world and the fields of science and exploration (Costello, 1996). Verne, who passed away on March 24, 1905, remains an enduring icon of speculative fiction, with a literary legacy that has seamlessly melded the realms of adventurous escapism and intellectual curiosity.
