Biography
Jules Verne was born in Nantes on February 8, 1828. She ran away from home at the age of 11 years to be boy and later a sailor, but soon caught and retrieved by his parents, he was taken back to the parental home in which, in a furious attack by the brief and embarrassed ephemeral nature of your adventure, do solemnly swear (fortunately for his millions of readers) not to travel more than in his imagination and through his fantasy.
A promise kept more than eighty books, according to a report published in early 1972 by the French magazine Paris Match as a result of an investigation conducted by UNESCO, have been translated into 112 languages, which Verne places second in the list Vendor success after another author of reduced production, but much more dense (Karl Marx, translated into 133 languages.)
His adolescence was spent in continuing clashes with his father, whom the vagaries of literary exploration and July seemed ridiculous the whole, and the constant rebuffs his cousin Caroline, who join the young Julio in deep crisis of melancholy. Finally gets moving to Paris where he began to rub shoulders with the cream of the intelligentsia of the day, Victor Hugo, Eugene Sue, etc., and get the friendship and protection of the Dumas, father and son. In 1850 he finishes his studies in law and his father ordered him to return to Nantes. But Julio is resisting, saying in his decision to become a professional letters.
is around this time that Verne, influenced by the incredible heights reached by that time that science and technology, conceived the project of creating the literature of the scientific age, pouring all this knowledge in epic tales, praising the genius and the strength of man in his struggle to dominate and transform the nature

But first is the need to eat and dress. To get the money you need, when his father cut off the supply of the focuses in the theater and operetta, uneven quality and success, but in any case an exhausting and unsatisfying, since it robs the time required for the study of those sciences which so admires.
In 1856 he met Honorine of Vyana, with whom he married in 1857 after Establécese in Paris as a stockbroker. His career as such was not at all satisfactory, and Verne and followed the advice of a friend, the editor PJ Hetzel, who became his editor in eternum, and became a descriptive account of Africa where it would the novel. Five Weeks in a Balloon, (1863) was an immediate success and resulted in a splendid Hetzel contract that guaranteed the young and inexperienced novelist (she was 35 when he published his first book) the annual amount of 20,000 francs for the next twenty years, in exchange for which Jules Verne were forced to write two novels of a new style every year. The contract was renewed by Hetzel and later by the son, with the result that, for over forty years, The voyages extraordinaires chapters appeared in the magazine monthly MAGASIN ET D'EDUCATION OF RECREATION.
was clear that the fate of Verne's work, who anticipated a more logical time and success that most writers of the genre to which can be considered primitive, with the exception of names like HG Wells, had to be like this, a real bonanza for the arts was born at the same While his books: the movies.
Verne's work, in fact, be among the most adapted in literature (and in this respect if we can tell who wins Karl Marx) and from the tribulations of a CHINESE IN CHINA to AROUND THE WORLD IN EIGHTY DIAS, ways to adapt his work have been very different, from the French Grand Guignol affair, as exemplified in the first case cited, to the great big screen entertainment and stellar cast, as in the second. But there are other titles that have earned a more respectful and a deeper approach, such as Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH THE EARTH or wool (and others adapted by George Méliès) who inspired him that can rightly be called as the first serious science fiction film made par possibilistic Americans in 1950, bound for LA LUNA (Destination: Moon), once the time of the delusional fantasies of Martian invasions, Venusian, selenite and the entire string of disasters, including the check of the Earth with another stellar body, with which the film USA had fun (and we had fun, I must say) during the decade of the 30 and 40, which included the adaptation of classic comic (and then considered as such) as Flash Gordon, Captain Marvel, Buck Rogers or Brick Bradford.
As gifted science fiction to adventure pure and simple (THE CHILDREN OF CAPTAIN GRANT, Michael), Verne joins the two sides in one of his most solid and lucky, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, in the that introduces us to one of his most successful characters, pathetic human, Captain Nemo (nobody) Flying Dutchman tragic sort of wandering aimlessly from one part to another of world, in a surprisingly real anticipation of what your day will be the nuclear submarine Nautilus in.
Nevertheless, Verne's life was not easy. On the one hand his dedication to work to such an extent undermined his health throughout his life suffered from attacks of paralysis. As if this were not enough was diabetic and ended up losing sight and hearing. His son Michael gave the same problems that he had given his father and, unfortunately from the misfortunes he suffered an attack by one of his nephews, who shot him at point blank range leaving him lame. His marital life was not as happy as he wished, and is commonly accepted by All his biographers who maintained a parallel marriage to a mysterious woman, who only ended when she died. Verne
also interested in politics, becoming elected councilor of Amiens in 1888 by the radical list, and was reelected in 1892, 1896 and 1900. Ideologically was decidedly progressive in all that pertained to education and technical but of a distinctly conservative, sometimes reactionary, in the political aspect.
