Produktbeschreibung
Jules Verne, often hailed as the "Father of Science Fiction," was a 19th-century French author whose imaginative works have left an indelible mark on literature and popular culture. Born in 1828 in Nantes, Verne displayed a fascination with travel and exploration from a young age, themes that would later dominate his writing. His novels often combined scientific speculation with adventure, predicting technological advancements long before they became reality. Verne's most famous works, including Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, Journey to the Center of the Earth, and Around the World in Eighty Days, are part of his Voyages Extraordinaires series. These novels not only showcased his visionary ideas-such as submarines, space travel, and deep-sea exploration-but also captured the spirit of 19th-century discovery and innovation. Verne's meticulous research and attention to scientific detail set his stories apart, making them both thrilling adventures and plausible forecasts of the future. His influence stretches far beyond literature, inspiring generations of scientists, explorers, and dreamers. Verne's unique ability to merge entertainment with education cemented his place as a cornerstone of science fiction and adventure writing, and his legacy continues to inspire a sense of wonder about the world and the universe beyond. Tigers and Traitors is an adventure set in India in the period following the Mutiny, when the country seethed with discontent. Pursued by the authorities, one rebel plots to revenge himself against the British and make himself ruler of the land. Part II of "The Steam House."

Autorenporträt
Jules Gabriel Verne (1828 - 1905) was a French novelist, poet and playwright best known for his adventure novels and his profound influence on the literary genre of science fiction. Verne was born to bourgeois parents in the seaport of Nantes, where he was trained to follow in his father's footsteps as a lawyer, but quit the profession early in life to write for magazines and the stage. His collaboration with the publisher Pierre-Jules Hetzel led to the creation of the Voyages extraordinaires, a widely popular series of scrupulously researched adventure novels including Journey to the Center of the Earth (1864), Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea (1870), and Around the World in Eighty Days (1873).
