Autorenporträt
Jules Verne, born in 1828 in Nantes, France, is widely regarded as one of the founding figures of science fiction and adventure literature. From an early age, Verne demonstrated a fascination with travel, technology, and the unknown, themes that would dominate his writing career. His works, often referred to as the Voyages Extraordinaires, have captivated generations of readers with their blend of scientific curiosity, imaginative storytelling, and vivid depictions of far-off lands. Verne began his literary career as a playwright and librettist before achieving international fame with novels such as Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, Journey to the Center of the Earth, and Around the World in Eighty Days. These works established him as a master of adventure fiction and a visionary of scientific progress. His ability to anticipate future technologies and his meticulous attention to detail set his novels apart and earned him the admiration of both critics and the public. Dick Sands, the Boy Captain is a prime example of Vernes talent for creating compelling young protagonists and immersive narratives. While less well-known than some of his other works, it remains a beloved classic for its exploration of leadership, survival, and the spirit of adventure. Verne wrote over sixty novels, many of which have been adapted for film, television, and stage, cementing his legacy as a literary icon. Verne passed away in 1905, but his influence endures. His novels continue to inspire readers of all ages, and his vision of exploration and discovery remains as relevant today as it was in the 19th century. Jules Verne is celebrated not only as a pioneer of science fiction but also as one of the greatest storytellers in the history of literature.
