About this audiobook
Jules Verne
Jules Gabriel Verne was born in the seaport of Nantes, France, in 1828 and was destined to follow his father into the legal profession. In Paris to train for the bar, he took more readily to literary life, befriending Alexander Dumas and Victor Hugo, and living by theatre managing and libretto-writing. His first science-based novel, Five Weeks in a Balloon, was issued by the influential publisher Pierre-Jules Hetzel in 1862, and made him famous. Verne and Hetzel collaborated to write dozens more such adventures, including 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea in 1869 and Around the World in 80 Days in 1872. In later life Verne entered local politics at Amiens, where had had a home. He also kept a house in Paris, in the street now named Boulevard Jules Verne, and a beloved yacht, the Saint Michel, named after his son. He died in 1905.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is one of the best books I've ever read. Étonnant!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Really nice history, really nice involvement with the characters, but four stars for the really slow start. The book starts to take speed only after chapter 8 and before 12 or 13, the the plots and actions take place with good speed and the characteristics of every one involved are placed with great care.
I do really recommend the book and I am amazed by the details!
