The Voyages extraordinaires\u00a0 of Jules Verne<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Not only can you travel personally, you can also travel without being in the place. Today we do it online through the internet. But 100 years ago it could also be done through literature. His ultimate expression of mind-blowing, fantastic and science-fiction trips was Jules Gabriel Verne.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jules Verne and the United States<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

The United States is widely portrayed in the vernian bibliography: the state of Florida<\/a> shares the stage with his work From the Earth to the Moon. Other works set entirely in the United States include An Eccentric’s Testament, Meteor Hunt, and Maston’s Secret.<\/span>
\nOther important works partially set in this country are Around the World in Eighty Days and The Golden Volcano.<\/span>
\nCuriously, in this book Verne leaves out the eccentric characters as he almost always portrays the American, the best example of him being J. T. Maston, who appears in three novels.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jules Verne was born….<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

On February 8, 1828, Jules Verne was born, considered the father of modern science fiction, prolific author of adventure travel and science fiction. <\/span>He was born in Nantes – France<\/a> .

Fall in love with literature<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

But Jules Verne<\/strong> fell in love with literature, especially theater. He wrote several works and libretti. He worked as secretary of the Lyric Theater (1852-54) and published short stories and scientific essays in the magazine Mus\u00e9e des familles.\u00a0<\/span>Alexander Dumas<\/strong> <\/a>was his protector, when he had already become an authority on French<\/a> letters, thanks to the publication of successful works such as The Three Musketeers<\/em> or The Count of Monte Cristo<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

In 1856 he met Honorine Hebe du Fraysse de Viane, a young widow with 2 daughters, whom he married on January 10, 1857 and had Michel Verne. <\/span>For years he worked as a broker on the Paris Stock Exchange. <\/span>He continued writing, researching at the National Library and dreaming of a new type of novel that would combine scientific fact with adventure fiction. <\/span>In 1859, he traveled through England and Scotland, and that inspired him to write later works.<\/span><\/p>\n

He founded the Society for Air Research in 1862, and in September of that same year he met the publisher Pierre-Jules Hetzel, who agreed to publish the first of his books (Five Weeks in a Balloon<\/i>\u00a0– 1863<\/strong>).<\/span><\/p>\n

Initially serialized in Hetzel’s Le Magasin d’\u00e9ducation et de r\u00e9cr\u00e9ation<\/strong>, the novel became an international best seller, and Hetzel offered Verne a long-term contract to produce many more works of “science fiction.”<\/span><\/p>\n

He was guaranteed the annual amount of 20,000 francs for the next twenty years.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jules Verne left his job at the stock market to become a full-time writer and began what would turn out to be a highly successful author-publisher collaboration that lasted over 40 years and resulted in more than 60 works in the popular _Voyages extraordinaires_ series. , which appeared in monthly chapters in the aforementioned magazine Magasin d’education.<\/span><\/p>\n

Verne’s works can be divided into three distinct phases.<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

First Stage<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

From 1862 to 1886, it is his positivist period. After his dystopian second novel _Paris au XXe si\u00e8cle_. (written in 1863, kept in a safe, and published 130 years later, in 1994) was rejected by Hetzel in 1863, Jules Verne learned his lesson and for more than 20 years produced many highly successful scientific adventure novels, includin:<\/span><\/p>\n
