Jules Verne…
was a French writer, whose stories are well known world wide. He is often called the "Father of Science Fiction". His stories were about inventions which were far ahead of his time.
Jules Verne was born in 1828 and died in 1905. He made a name for himself with travellers' tales - stories which tell about the adventures people have on journeys.
In his life time he wrote 54 major novels which were about science fiction.
Jules Verne was able to invent a future that did not exist until well into this century.

He is one of those authors that make you wonder if time machines have been invented after all.
He wrote "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea", predicting humans living and working for very long periods in the deep
oceans. "Around the World in 80 days" must have encouraged many people in the last century to travel internationally.
Even today, it can be a challenge to achieve Jules Verne's journey in his time limit… and maybe that is one of the
reasons you are right here, right now.
