About the author

Jules Verne (1828–1905), a French novelist, poet, and playwright, is often dubbed the 'Father of Science Fiction.' With a penchant for weaving imaginative tales blurring the lines between science and adventure, Verne's work has carved an indelible mark in literary history. He is best known for novels such as 'Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea,' 'Journey to the Center of the Earth,' and 'Around the World in Eighty Days.' Although '50 Masterpieces of Murder Mystery & Detective Fiction (Vol. 2)' is a collection not originally curated by Verne himself, it does sometimes include works from the broader genre of speculative fiction with which his name is often associated. His literary style combines meticulously researched technological and scientific detail, which was quite prophetic of actual technological advancements, with rousing elements of romance and escapism. His narratives, encapsulating the Victorian era's spirit of exploration and innovation, often feature protagonists embarking on extraordinary voyages, challenging the known limits of the world. Verne's influence extends beyond literature into the realms of science, inspiring generations of scientists, explorers, and writers. His works continue to be popular, inviting readers to adventure and igniting the fires of imagination across the world.
