    Né à Nantes en 1828, fils d'avoué, Jules Verne poursuit des études de droit mais ne veut pas reprendre la succession de son père. A cela, il préfére se consacrer à l'écriture de pièces de théâtre ou de livrets d'opérette. Il se passionne très tôt pour le monde des sciences et la géographie. Il commence alors à écrire de courts récits de voyage. C'est en 1863 que débute réellement sa carrière d'écrivain avec la publication de son premier roman Cinq semaines en ballon qui sera le premier livre de la longue série des Voyages extraordinaires dans les mondes connus et inconnus. Jules Verne est mort à Amiens en 1905.

Lezen over Jules Verne
Dit artikel is geschreven door Kees Waij, lid van het Jules Verne Genootschap. Het is een licht gewijzigde versie van een artikel dat verscheen in Holland SF, zomer 1998. Het is niet veel schrijvers vergund om bijna honderd jaar na hun dood door een breed publiek gekend en gelezen te worden. Merkwaardig is het zelfs te noemen als hun boeken nog steeds over de hele wereld worden herdrukt, bewerkt en verfilmd. Jules Verne is een van die schrijvers.
Jules Verne: zijn leven
Om het fenomeen Jules Verne beter te begrijpen moeten we terug naar de vorige eeuw. Op 8 februari van het jaar 1828 om 12 uur precies werd Jules Verne te Nantes geboren. Zijn geboortehuis stond aan een oude kade langs de Loire. Zijn vader was notaris en volgens goed burgerlijk gebruik moest Jules, als oudste zoon, zijn vader later opvolgen. Een eigen keuze werd hem niet gelaten. Hij moest rechten gaan studeren.
Het verhaal gaat ook dat zijn voorliefde voor Robinsonnades terug te voeren is op een jongensavontuur. Jules huurde op een dag voor een paar francs een gammel roeibootje en zakte de rivier af. Op een gegeven ogenblik maakte het bootje water, liep snel vol en zonk. Onze held kon zich redden op een van de vele zandbanken. Gelukkig was deze niet ver van de oever. Voor het avondmaal was hij weer thuis.

Verne is famous for popularising science in a number of vividly imagined and often visionary adventure stories. His first success as a writer was with Five Weeks in a Balloon (1863). The author is best known now for his Journey to the Centre of the Earth (1864) which is fairly self-explanatory in concept; The Adventures of Captain Hatteras (1866), about a polar expedition; Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea (1870), about Captain Nemo and his submarine "Nautilus". Most famous of all his novels, though, is Around the World in Eighty Days (1873). This story concerned, as the title suggests, the traversing of the world in miraculously fast time (on a bet) of a certain quiet and refined English gentleman, Phileas Fogg, and his valet Passepartout.

    B C D ... Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback Jules Verne (1828-1905) Enormously popular French author, the founding father of science fiction with H.G. Wells . Verne's stories, written for adolescents as well as adults, caught the enterprising spirit of the 19th century, its uncritical fascination about scientific progress and inventions. His works were often written in the form of a travel book, which took the readers on a voyage to the moon in From the Earth to the Moon (1865) or to another direction as in A Journey to the Center of the Earth (1864). Many of Verne's ideas have been hailed as prophetic. Among his best-known books is the classic adventure story Around the World in Eighty Days " Ah - what a journey - what a marvelous and extraordinary journey! Here we had entered the earth by one volcano, and we had come out by another. And this other was situated more than twelve hundred leagues from Sneffels, from that drear country of Iceland cast away on the confines of the earth... We had abandoned the region of eternal snows for that infinite verdure, and had left over our heads the gray fog of the icy regions to come back to the azure sky of Sicily! " (from

    Jules Verne
    By Elaine Ernst Schneider
    April 2, 2001 Jules Verne was a French author. He loved exploring the “why” of things. First, he studied law. Then Jules turned to literature. He wrote about spacecraft, guided missiles, submarines, and helicopters before they were even invented. Jules Verne imagined space travel and inventions such as the aqua lung. His love of science caused him to study the earth and the human body. Then he used the knowledge he acquired to write adventures. For example, Journey to the Center of the Earth takes the reader beneath the earth's crust by entering through a volcano. Jules’ love for travel and places is seen in his book Around the World in Eighty Days. Jules Verne’s work was always exciting – and just as popular now as it was in the 1800’s. He was an extraordinary man far in advance of the time in which he lived. Because his fantasy adventures introduced the first elements of imaginary science, Jules Verne is known as the “Father of Science Fiction.” You may purchase two of his most famous books by clicking on the icons on the left of this page.

    Jules Verne
    Jules Verne was born in 1828, in Nates, France. Jules' parents were of a seafaring tradition, one factor which influenced his writings. As a boy, he ran off to be a cabin boy on a merchant ship, but he was caught and returned to his parents. In 1847 Jules was sent to study law in Paris. While there, however, his passion for theater grew and from 1848 he wrote opera libretti. In 1863 his first novel Five Weeks in a Balloon was published. He struck a new vein in fiction writing by describing adventures carried out by means of scientific invention in exotic places, like submarines and space travel. He achieved huge popularity in his life time and greatly influenced the early work of H.G. Wells.
