Enormously popular French author, the founding father of science fiction with H.G.Wells. Verne's stories, written for adolescents as well as adults, caught the enterprising spirit of the 19th century, its uncritical fascination about scientific progress and inventions. Many of Verne's ideas have been hailed as prophetic. Among his best-known books is the classic adventure story Around the World in Eighty Days (1873).
This is a novel about the adventures of Phileas Fogg and his servant Passerpartout. One day while Phileas Fogg is with some friends, he reads in a newspaper that it is possible to travel around the world in eighty days. No one believes this is true, except Phileas.
Jules Verne talks about travels in his books for example "Journey to the Center of the Earth" and "From to the Center of the Earth". Maybe this writter traveled a lot of in his life for this reason He likes to write books with protagonistes to do travels.

Hi Felipe,
Jules Verne is certainly a great writer, his stories are known as literary icons. But you are not so convincent in telling us the connections between his life and his writings, maybe you should try to get a little more information about him and see if you can find more things in common to his production, I am sure you can do it.
Also, I can notice that you copied some information from the internet, improve your writing by doing less of that.
Thank you.
