Jules Verne

Jules Verne was a French novelist and visionary whose work helped define early science fiction. Writing in the 19th century, he combined adventure with scientific curiosity in novels like Journey to the Center of the Earth and Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea. His stories imagined submarines, space travel, and advanced technologies long before they existed, inspiring generations of scientists, filmmakers, and writers. Verne’s ability to ground фантастical ideas in real-world science earned him the title “father of science fiction.”
