Jules Verne was a French author. Many people refer to him as the "Father of Science Fiction" because he was a pioneer in the genre of science fiction. H.G. Wells has also been called the "Father of Science Fiction." Among the novels Verne wrote are Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, which predicted the submarine as a means of underwater travel, and From the Earth to the Moon, which predicted space travel. Verne became interested in machines after spending childhood summers watching ships moving up and down the Loire River. Shortly after that, he became interested in traveling while studying at a boarding school. Verne began writing stories about traveling while he was in law school. His tales were often fantastic and filled with unrealistic situations. However, he used his knowledge of science and geography to make these tales more believable. He sent his stories to publishing companies, but found that they were repeatedly rejected. Among the criticisms he received was that his work was "too scientific." In the 1860s, Verne met Pierre-Jules Hetzel, a publisher and editor. Hetzel served as editor and publisher of Verne's best-known works. These works include Journey to the Center of the Earth, Around the World in Eighty Days, and Five Weeks in a Balloon. Verne's books have been translated over four thousand times. As such, they have been able to influence generations of scientists, explorers, writers, and filmmakers from around the world. His works have sparked the imaginations of dreamers and inventors for well over one hundred years.
