Widely regarded as ‘The Father of Science Fiction’, Jules Verne is the second most translated author in the world. This legendary, 19th century science fiction and adventure novelist is said to have laid the foundation for modern day science fiction. One of the most celebrated literary figures, Verne was a visionary, whose writings were full of futuristic inventions. Many years before the invention of Electric Submarines, Newscasts, Solar Sails, Lunar Modules, Skywriting, Videoconferencing, Taser and Splashdown Spaceships, he mentioned all of these in his novels. Some of his most much-admired novels include ‘Journey to the Center of the Earth’, ‘Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea’, and ‘Around the World in Eighty Days’. All through his writing career, he wrote 65 novels, 30 plays and many short stories, essays and opera librettos. One of the greatest and most imaginative wordsmiths, Verne has been the inspiration of several scientists including submarine designer Simon Lake, aviation pioneer, Alberto Santos-Dumont, rocketry innovators, Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, Robert Goddard and Hermann Oberth. The extraordinary sci-fi voyages of Jules Verne continue to inspire art, culture, and technology.

Adventures under the sea
Actions Feelings Views
walked under the water
remained near each other, as if…
walking on fine, even sand
no longer felt the weight
astonished me by its power
was but another air heavier than the Earth’s atmosphere
the vibration which passed through every atom of liquid
solar rays shone through the watery mass easily
the colours darkened into fine shades of deep blue
above me was the calm surface of the sea
this dazzling carpet… drove away the rays of the sun with wonderful intensity
as if I was in broad daylight

The light, which lit the soil thirty feet below the surface of the ocean, astonished me by its power. The solar rays shone through the watery mass easily, and consumed all colour, and I clearly distinguished objects at a distance of a hundred and fifty yards. Beyond that the colours darkened into fine shades of deep blue, and gradually disappeared. Truly this water which surrounded me was but another air heavier than the earth's atmosphere, but almost as clear. Above me was the calm surface of the sea. We were walking on fine, even sand, not wrinkled, as on a flat shore, which keeps the impression of the waves. This dazzling carpet, really a reflector, drove away the rays of the sun with wonderful intensity, which accounted for the vibration which passed through every item of the feet. Shall I believe when I say that at the depth of 30 feet, I could see as if I was in broad daylight

Use analogy/comparison to describe unfamiliar experiences.
…I no longer felt the weight of my clothes, or of my shoes, of my air supply, or my thick helmet, inside which my head shook like a nut in its shell.
