---------- About the Author----------

 Jules Gabriel Verne (1828–1905) was a French author who pioneered the science-fiction genre. He is best known for his novels Journey to the Center of the Earth, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, and Around the World in Eighty Days. Verne wrote about space, air, and underwater travel before navigable aircraft and practical submarines were invented, and before any means of space travel had been devised. One of the most translated author of all time, he is often referred to as one of the Fathers of Science Fiction.
