His works, such as Journey to the Center of the Earth and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, earned him recognition as a pioneer of science fiction.Verne's collaboration with publisher Pierre-Jules Hetzel significantly shaped his career. Together, they created the Voyages Extraordinaires, a series of meticulously researched adventure novels that captivated readers with their futuristic technology and exotic locales.
