Perihal pengarang
Jules Verne, born in Nantes, France, on February 8, 1828, was a novelist whose work laid much of the foundation of modern science fiction. His literary career began with the publication of 'A Voyage in a Balloon' (1852), a prescient narrative that captured the imagination of a society intrigued by the possibilities of flight and exploration. Verne's vivid storytelling fused adventure with scientific fact, a trademark approach in his ensuing 'Voyages extraordinaires' series which includes classics like 'Journey to the Center of the Earth' (1864), 'From the Earth to the Moon' (1865), 'Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea' (1870), and 'Around the World in Eighty Days' (1873). These writings not only entertained but also educated readers about the technological advances of the 19th century and speculated on future innovations. His prose, rich in detail and filled with the spirit of adventure, encouraged his readers to dream of the incredible. Verne's influence extends to literature, film, and television, and his works continue to be adapted and enjoyed by new generations. Passing away on March 24, 1905, in Amiens, Verne left behind a legacy as one of the principal architects of science fiction and a master storyteller who expanded the horizons of the literary world.
