The "man who invented the future," Jules Verne created the prototype for modern science fiction. His prophetic 1870 novel, featuring a bizarre underwater craft commanded by the brilliant and mysterious Captain Nemo, predated the submarine. The crowning achievement of Verne's literary career, this fantastic adventure tale of underwater monsters and civilizations influenced H. G. Wells and generations of writers.

"The reason Verne is still read by millions today is simply that he was one of the best storytellers who ever lived." Arthur C. Clarke. Jules Verne started out composing librettos, but the French-born author's passion for travel and exploration compelled him to turn to adventure tales, creating the prototype for today's science fiction. One of the most translated authors in the world, Jules Verne is best known for his classics, Journey to the Center of the Earth, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, and Around the World in Eighty Days.
