JULES VERNE-1

Jules Verne smooth, fast-paced writing style and his detailed descriptive passages truly anticipate the style of twentieth century science fiction. Riding the crest of public interest in science and invention in the nineteenth century, Verne’s books became immensely popular. Not only were they well-paced adventure stories, but they also transported readers to places they had never been. Verne focused the action of his novels in yet unexplored locations like outer space, the bottom of the ocean and deep inside the Earth, but in novels such as The Children of Captain Grant (1868), he carried his readers to South America and Australia, lands that were just as remote and exotic for most Europeans as the moon.
