O autorovi
Jules Verne (1828–1905) stands as a pivotal figure in the development of the science fiction genre and is often regarded as the 'Father of Science Fiction' alongside his English contemporary H.G. Wells. A French novelist, poet, and playwright, Verne penned a series of adventure novels collectively known as 'Voyages extraordinaires,' which includes classics such as 'Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea,' 'Journey to the Center of the Earth,' and 'Around the World in Eighty Days.' While 'The Great Pirate Adventures' is not a recognized title by Verne, his influence in maritime adventure narratives is evident through seminal works like 'The Mysterious Island' and 'The Adventures of Captain Hatteras.' Verne's literary style is characterized by meticulous research, an imaginative blend of known scientific facts with prophetic visions of technological advancements, and an enduring sense of wonder. His stories often feature explorers facing extraordinary situations in exotic locales with a backdrop of detailed geographical and scientific content. Verne's contributions extend beyond the realm of literature; he is credited with inspiring countless scientists, explorers, and inventors. His vision captured the zeitgeist of the 19th century―an era marked by industrialization and exploration―and his works continue to resonate due to their universal themes and timeless appeal.
