Biografía del autor

Jules Verne (1828-1905) es uno de los grandes nombres de la literatura universal y una figura clave en el nacimiento de la ciencia ficción. Escribió más de sesenta novelas que combinan aventura, precisión científica y un inconfundible espíritu explorador. Obras como Veinte mil leguas de viaje submarino , Viaje al centro de la Tierra o La vuelta al mundo en ochenta días han inspirado a generaciones de lectores y creadores, y siguen siendo puerta de entrada al asombro y la imaginación. Su legado permanece vivo en cada historia que se atreve a pensar más allá de lo posible.
