Jules Gabriel Verne (1828–1905) was a French novelist, poet, and playwright renowned for his popular adventure novels like "Journey to the Center of the Earth" (1864), "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas" (1870), and "Around the World in Eighty Days" (1872), created in collaboration with publisher Pierre-Jules Hetzel. His meticulously researched works, typically set in the late 19th century, reflect contemporary technological advancements.

Besides novels, Verne authored plays, short stories, poetry, and various scientific and literary studies. His works have been widely adapted across film, television, comics, theater, opera, music, and video games.

Though initially labeled as a genre fiction or children's author in English-speaking regions due to abridged translations, Verne's literary stature has steadily risen since the 1980s. Internationally, he's been one of the most translated authors, often hailed as a pioneer of science fiction alongside figures like H. G. Wells and Hugo Gernsback. By the 2010s, he became the most translated French author worldwide, with 2005 being celebrated as "Jules Verne Year" in France to mark the centenary of his passing.
