Jules Verne, French Author

Jules Gabriel Verne (1828-1905) was a French author who pioneered the science fiction genre. He is best known for his novels Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea (1870), A Journey to the Center of the Earth (1864), and Around the World in Eighty Days (1873). Verne wrote about space, air, and underwater travel before air travel and practical submarines were invented, and before practical means of space travel had been devised. He is the second most translated author in the world (after Agatha Christie). Verne is often called the "Father of Science Fiction", a title shared with Hugo Gernsback and H. G. Wells. In 1905, while ill with diabetes, Verne died at his home.
