Über den Autor

Jules Verne (1828-1905), a French novelist, poet, and playwright, is often referred to as the ‚Father of Science Fiction‘. He is best known for his Voyages extraordinaires, a series of novels which include seminal works such as ‚Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea‘ (1870), ‚Around the World in Eighty Days‘ (1873), and ‚Journey to the Center of the Earth‘ (1864). Verne’s ability to blend scientific fact with fiction, and his immense imagination, allowed him to create a body of work that has stood the test of time, entertaining and inspiring generations. Though ‚Dead Men Tell No Tales – 60+ Pirate Novels, Treasure-Hunt Tales & Sea Adventure Classics‘ is attributed to him in the query, it is not a known work by Verne. This title rather seems to be a compilation of various authors‘ works into a themed collection. Verne’s influence on literature and science fiction is substantial, with his pioneering works pre-empting and inspiring contemporary technology and exploration decades before their reality. His literary style merged adventure with education, making him exceptionally popular among the youth and scientific communities of his time and beyond. Posthumously, Verne has been the second most-translated author in the world since 1979, ranking between the English-language writers Agatha Christie and William Shakespeare, showcasing his enduring global impact.
