-'''Jules Gabriel Verne''' ([[February 8]] [[1828]]&ndash;[[March 24]] [[1905]]) was a [[Brittany|Breton]] [[author]] who pioneered the [[science fiction|science-fiction]] genre. He is best known for novels such as ''[[Journey To The Center Of The Earth]]'' (1864), ''[[Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea]]'' <!--NOTE:-->(1870)<!--Do not link year dates-->, and ''[[Around the World in Eighty Days]]'' (1873). Verne wrote about [[Outer space|space]], [[Aircraft|air]], and [[Submarine|underwater]] travel before air travel and practical [[submarines]] were invented, and before practical means of space travel had been devised. He is the third most translated author in the world, according to [[Index Translationum]]. Some of his books have been made into films. Verne, along with [[Hugo Gernsback]] and [[H. G. Wells]], is often popularly referred to as the "Father of Science Fiction".+ 
 +'''Jules Gabriel Verne''' (8 February 1828 – 24 March 1905) was a French novelist, poet, and playwright.
 + 
 +Verne's collaboration with the publisher [[Pierre-Jules Hetzel]] led to the creation of the ''[[Voyages extraordinaires]]'', a widely popular series of scrupulously researched adventure novels including ''[[Journey to the Center of the Earth]]'' (1864), ''[[Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea]]'' (1870), and ''[[Around the World in Eighty Days]]'' (1873).<!-- Please don't add additional titles to this list; there are MANY Verne titles we could mention, but for the lead paragraph we have to keep things relatively simple. -->
 + 
 +Verne is generally considered a major literary author in France and most of Europe, where he has had a wide influence on the literary [[avant-garde]] and on [[surrealism]]. His reputation is markedly different in [[English-speaking world|Anglophone regions]], where he has often been labeled a writer of [[genre fiction]] or [[children's books]], largely because of the highly abridged and altered [[Jules Verne#English translations|translations]] in which his novels have often been printed.
 + 
 +Verne has been the [[list of most-translated individual authors|second most-translated author in the world]] since 1979, ranking between [[Agatha Christie]] and [[William Shakespeare]]. He has sometimes been called the "Father of Science Fiction", a title that has also been given to [[H. G. Wells]], [[Mary Shelley]], and [[Hugo Gernsback]].

Jules Gabriel Verne (8 February 1828 – 24 March 1905) was a French novelist, poet, and playwright.

Verne's collaboration with the publisher Pierre-Jules Hetzel led to the creation of the Voyages extraordinaires, a widely popular series of scrupulously researched adventure novels including Journey to the Center of the Earth (1864), Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea (1870), and Around the World in Eighty Days (1873).

Verne is generally considered a major literary author in France and most of Europe, where he has had a wide influence on the literary avant-garde and on surrealism. His reputation is markedly different in Anglophone regions, where he has often been labeled a writer of genre fiction or children's books, largely because of the highly abridged and altered translations in which his novels have often been printed.

Verne has been the second most-translated author in the world since 1979, ranking between Agatha Christie and William Shakespeare. He has sometimes been called the "Father of Science Fiction", a title that has also been given to H. G. Wells, Mary Shelley, and Hugo Gernsback.
