Jules Verne
Nato: February 08, 1828 – Nantes, Loire-Atlantique, France

Biografia e Percorso dell'Autore
Jules Verne was born in Nantes, France, on February 8, 1828, into a bourgeois family headed by a lawyer, Pierre Verne. Raised in a busy port city, he grew up amid ships, maps, trade routes, and stories of distant travel, influences that would later shape nearly all of his fiction. He was sent to Paris to study law, following family expectations, but the move became a decisive turning point: instead of building a legal career, he was drawn into literary circles and the theater. He wrote plays, journalism, and short fiction while supporting himself through stockbroking and other work. His early years in Paris taught him discipline as much as imagination, forcing him to combine ambitious literary aims with careful research and practical routine.
