Features: Jules Verne was born in Nantes, a city in the west of France in 1828. Most of Jules Verne's works tell readers about many things that were to be used, discovered, or invented in the future. Jules Verne studied law in his youth, but he also began writing dramatic scripts. In 1862, he wrote the novel Five Weeks in a Balloon. This novel showed that Jules Verne could vividly and engagingly depict fictional journeys. Verne's novels earned him the title of "Father of Science Fiction," though this is only a part of his works. The novel was immediately successful in France. People from other countries also heard of this work. Verne's French novels were translated into other languages, for example, in 1986, the novel was translated into English. The French version of the novel Around the World in Eighty Days was published in 1873. By then, Verne's novels had gained a reputation in many countries; the English translation and translations into other languages were also published in the same year. The story in the novel does not describe future travel methods that might appear, but rather a new travel mode in 1872. You will also find joy in it.
