Science fiction is a popular kind of writing, and many people think of Jules Verne as the father of science fiction. He was born in France in 1828. His father wanted him to become a lawyer, but from his early 20s Verne decided to become a writer. At first he wrote plays for the theatre. Then, in 1863, he wrote a story called *Five Weeks in a Balloon*. The success of this book encouraged him to write more stories such as *A Journey to the Centre of the Earth* (1864) and *From the Earth to the Moon*(1865).
In the 19th century, many people were interested in science and inventions. Jules Verne wrote about scientific subjects in his stories and as a result, they were very popular. Verne’s writing included many predictions for the 20th century and many of them came true. He described space flight, movies, and air conditioning, a long time before they appeared. These books were very successful and they made Verne rich.
Jules Verne’s books have been the subjects for many movies. *20,000 Leagues under the Sea* was a successful movie for Walt Disney. It was the first Disney movie to use real actors instead of cartoon drawings. *Around the World in Eighty Days* is another famous movie based on one of Verne’s books. The main character is an Englishman called Phileas Fogg. For him, the most important thing is to be always on time!
