Jules Verne Jules Gabriel Verne (;''Longman Pronunciation Dictionary''. ; 8 February 1828 – 24 March 1905) was a French novelist, poet, and playwright. His collaboration with the publisher Pierre-Jules Hetzel led to the creation of the ''Voyages extraor ...

. Fifty-four of these novels were originally published between 1863 and 1905, during the author's lifetime, and eight additional novels were published posthumously. The posthumous novels were published under Jules Verne's name, but had been extensively altered or, in one case, completely written by his son Michel Verne. According to Verne's editor Pierre-Jules Hetzel, the goal of the ''Voyages'' was "to outline all the geographical, geological, physical, historical and astronomical knowledge amassed by modern science and to recount, in an entertaining and picturesque format ... the history of the universe." Verne's meticulous attention to detail and scientific trivia, coupled with his sense of wonder and exploration, form the backbone of the ''Voyages''. Part of the reason for the broad appeal of his work was the sense that the reader could really learn knowledge of geology, biology, astronomy, paleontology,

'', which was the third of all his novels. The works in this series are adventure stories, some with overt science fiction elements (e.g., '' Journey to the Center of the Earth'') or elements of scientific romance (e.g., '' Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea'').

Theme

In a late interview, Verne affirmed that Hetzel's ambitious commission had become the running literary theme of his novel sequence: However, Verne made clear that his own object was more literary than scientific, saying "I do not in any way pose as a scientist" and explaining in another interview:

Publication

In the system developed by Hetzel for the ''Voyages Extraordinaires'', each of Verne's novels was published successively in several different formats. This resulted in as many as four distinct editions of each text (labeled here according to current practice for Verne bibliographies): * Éditions pré-originales (pre-original editions): Serialization in a periodical, usually Hetzel's own biweekly ''Magasin d'Éducation et de récréation'' ("Magazine of Education and Recreation", founded 1864). The serialized installments were illustrated by artists on Hetzel's staff, such as

Édouard Riou Édouard Riou (; 2 December 1833 – 27 January 1900) was a French illustrator who illustrated six novels by Jules Verne, as well as several other well-known works. Life Riou was born in 1833 in Saint-Servan, Ille-et-Vilaine, and studied u ...

These deluxe editions, designed for Christmas and New Year's markets, include most or all of the illustrations from the serializations.

Continued appeal

Jules Verne remains to this day the most translated science fiction author in the world as well as one of the most continually reprinted and widely read French authors. Though often scientifically outdated, his ''Voyages'' still retain their sense of wonder that appealed to readers of his time, and still provoke an interest in the sciences among the young. The ''Voyages'' are frequently adapted into film, from

Most of the novels in the ''Voyages'' series (except for '' Five Weeks in a Balloon'', '' Journey to the Center of the Earth'', and '' The Purchase of the North Pole'') were first serialized in periodicals, usually in Hetzel's ''Magasin d'Éducation et de récréation'' ("Magazine of Education and Recreation").
