“Anything one man can imagine, other men can make real” Jules Verne
One of my favourite writers as a child was Jules Verne. Or maybe i should say one of my favourite scientists?
Jules Gabriel Verne (1828-1905) was a French author - regarded as the "Father of Science Fiction".

A pioneer in his genre and an extremely talented writer, he referred to his books as "science novels".
|
His work was a result of hard study and thorough research on the topic he was dealing with. Chemistry, geography, mechanics, science in general.
Most of his bizarre and fantastic ideas were not just pure imagination but possible future inventions. Jules Verne himself revealed that scientists had already invented submarines at least 60 years before writing "Captain Nemo".
He foresaw a range of technological innovations long before their arrival.Electric submarines, newscasts, solar sails, lunar modules, skywriting, videoconferencing, taser and splashdown spaceship are inventions he 'd written about and came true.
He wrote 88 books and he 's the second most translated author in the world.
