Jules Verne, born February 8, 1828 in Nantes, France, and died March 24, 1905 in Amiens, France, was a French writer whose work consists for the most part of adventure novels evoking the scientific progress of the 19th century. Although he first wrote plays, Verne didn't achieve success until 1863, when his first novel, Cinq Semaines en ballon (Five Weeks in a Balloon), was published by Pierre-Jules Hetzel (1814-1886). It was a huge success, even abroad. From Aventures du capitaine Hatteras onwards, his novels became part of Voyages extraordinaires, a series of 62 novels and 18 short stories, sometimes published as serials in Magasin d'éducation et de récréation, a magazine aimed at young people, or in adult periodicals such as Le Temps or Journal des débats. Jules Verne's novels, always well documented, are generally set in the second half of the 19th century. They take into account the technologies of the time - Captain Grant's Children (1868), Around the World in Eighty Days (1

873), Michel Strogoff (1876), The South Star (1884), etc. - as well as others not yet mastered. - but also others that had not yet been mastered or were more fanciful - De la Terre à la Lune (1865), Vingt Mille Lieues sous les mers (1870), Robur-le-Conquérant (1886), etc.
