Autorenporträt

Jules Verne (1828-1905), a French novelist, poet, and playwright, is often referred to as the 'Father of Science Fiction'. Born in the seaport of Nantes, Verne cultivated a lifelong fascination with travel and adventure, which is reflected in his monumental series 'Voyages Extraordinaires.' Verne's work blends scientific fact with imaginative narrative, a style that has captivated readers for generations and foreseen technological innovations long before their time. His novel 'Godfrey Morgan: A Californian Mystery' departs from his usual techno-scientific tales and delves into the adventure genre, featuring shipwrecks, deserted islands, and exotic locales. Despite being less known than 'Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea' or 'Around the World in Eighty Days,' this novel nonetheless showcases Verne's flair for crafting engrossing narratives in richly described worlds. His literary style combines detailed technical speculation with enlightening depictions of the human condition, often exploring themes of civilization versus nature, progress, and the consequences of knowledge. Verne's foresight and storytelling have cemented his reputation as a pioneering figure in the early development of science fiction.
