Embark on the road of creation
Verne was born in Nantes on 1828. 1848 went to Paris to study law and write short stories and plays.
From 65438 to 0863, he began to publish sci-fi adventure novels, which was famous by the general name of Strange Roaming in the Known and Unknown World. As representatives of the trilogy, Captain Grant's Children, Two Wan Li under the Sea and Mysterious Island.
Verne wrote a total of 66 novels or short stories, as well as several plays, one volume of Geography of France and six volumes of Great Travelers and Great Travel History. His major works include Five Weeks in a Balloon, Journey to the Center of the Earth, Machine Island, Lost Peninsula and Around the World in 80 Days, as well as more than 20 sci-fi adventure novels.
Verne, blessed by a hundred gods.
From the map, France is slightly pentagonal, a bit like a human being. We can imagine the two corners of France extending to the Mediterranean and Atlantic as two arms, and the pearl of the left hand is Marseille; The pearls on the right are well hidden. Underarm, it's Nantes. This is the hometown of jules verne, the father of science fiction.
Little Verne's home is near the harbor, and his childhood curiosity prompted him to rush to the dock again and again. Where did this beautiful three-masted sailboat come from? Where is this sloop going? He soon got mixed up with young sailors almost the same age on board, dreaming of crossing the ocean and exploring mysterious foreign countries one day.
/kloc-When he was 0/8 years old, his lawyer father sent him to Paris to study law. This is really letting the bird out of the cage. Verne has a lot of fun. One day at a party, he wanted to leave early, slipped off the handrail of the stairs when people were unprepared, and didn't want to bump into a fat gentleman. Verne was very embarrassed. After apologizing, he casually asked the other person if he had eaten (as if this greeting was not unique to China), and the other person replied that he had just eaten Nantes scrambled eggs. Verne shook his head and claimed that there were no authentic Nantes scrambled eggs in Paris because he was from Nantes and did a good job. The fat gentleman was overjoyed and invited Verne to perform at his door. This fat gentleman was none other than Dumas, the most famous writer who could eat and write in France at that time.
From then on, Verne even ate and lived in Dumas' house, and he also studied and wrote plays with Dumas. He was deeply influenced by Dumas, so that Dumas once said with emotion that Verne should be Dumas' son in terms of literature.
Originally, I hoped that Verne's father, the father who followed in his footsteps, would know that he could no longer restrain this colorful son. His son was supported by such a famous figure as Dumas, so he would not interfere in his choice at all. I not only continue to provide my son with life support, but also find themes for his son to create plays in my own case collection.
It seems not enough to have a good father and a good tutor. God also gave Verne a famous wife. His first novel, Five Weeks in a Balloon, was voted by 16 publishing houses. Verne threw the manuscript into the fire in a rage, and Mrs. Fan snatched the manuscript empty-handed, giving him the opportunity to meet with the 17 publishing house, which knows the goods.
According to China people, Verne is really blessed by a hundred gods, and it is not easy to succeed.
Verne's creative career
Jules verne (1828.2.8-1905.3.25) was born in Nantes, a western French port city. He lived and studied on Fayed Island by the Lauard River, which was a part of the city until he graduated from middle school. My father is a successful lawyer, and he is bent on his son's inheritance. But Verne loved the ocean since he was a child and longed for sailing and adventure. 1 1 years old, little Verne secretly boarded a big ship bound for India and became a trainee sailor, ready to start his dream adventure. But because of the timely discovery, my father caught up with him at the next port. This trip, which ended with severe punishment, was exchanged for stricter discipline. I lay in bed with tears and vowed, "I promise to travel only in bed." This completely deprived him of the possibility of becoming an adventurer. Of course, the image of the blue sea in my heart will never be erased. Perhaps it was this childhood experience that objectively prompted Verne to gallop in fantasy all his life and create so many famous sci-fi works.
/kloc-When he was 0/8 years old, he went to Paris to study law at the behest of his father, but he had no interest in law, but fell in love with literature and drama. Once, Verne left early from a party, and when he went downstairs, he was suddenly childlike and slipped down the handrail of the stairs, not wanting to bump into a fat gentleman. Verne was very embarrassed. After apologizing, he casually asked each other if they had eaten. The other party replied that they had just eaten Nantes scrambled eggs. Verne shook his head and claimed that there were no authentic Nantes scrambled eggs in Paris because he was from Nantes and did a good job. The fat gentleman was overjoyed and invited Verne to perform at his door. From then on, their friendship began. They once wrote plays together, which created favorable conditions for Verne to embark on the road of creation. The fat gentleman's name is Dumas. After graduation, he devoted himself to the creation of poetry and drama. To this end, he was not only severely reprimanded by his father, but also lost financial support. He had to struggle in poverty and enjoy reading. He worships Hugo, Balzac, Dumas and Shakespeare in England. In Paris, he wrote 20 plays (unpublished) and some romantic poems.
Later, Verne collaborated with Dumas to create the drama Broken Straw, which was first staged in 1850, which marked Verne's initial success in the literary world. In the process of continuing his creation, Verne felt that literary creation seemed to lack a way out. He found that people in the literary world were trying to find a way out and tried to integrate knowledge from other fields into drama. For example, Dumas integrated history into literature, Balzac integrated social ethics into literature ... then Verne discovered that only geography had not developed.
During this period, he often went to the National Library and began to be keen on all kinds of new scientific discoveries. At the same time, he systematically studied geography, mathematics, physics, chemistry and so on. And actively prepare vocabulary for the science novels you want to write. He found a job as a secretary in the theater, wrote several operettas in succession, and published several short stories and a historical novel "Mardam Paz".
So Verne spent a year doing experiments and created works such as Winter on the Glacier, but none of them were published.
1856, Verne came to the northern city of Amiens by train, met a beautiful widow with two children, fell in love at first sight and proposed, and then got married. Then Verne moved in and began to write seriously. He is 29 years old.
1863, after Verne published the book Five Weeks in a Balloon, 16 publishing house ignored it and threw it into flames angrily. His wife rescued him and sent him to 17 publishing house for publication. The editor who appreciated this book was Heckel, and Verne met his bosom friend and made a lifelong friendship with him. Hegel signed a contract with Verne to publish two science fiction novels every year.
After the publication of Five Weeks in a Balloon, Verne's creation entered a period of exploration in many aspects. He tried all kinds of writing methods and explored in all directions, which was out of control. Two books are published every year, with the total title of Strange Travel, including Journey to the Center of the Earth, From the Earth to the Moon, Around the Moon, Two Wan Li under the Sea, Mysterious Island and so on. Covering land, sea and sky ... After that, the exploration stopped, it began to mature and entered a period of stable development, and created "Around the Earth in 80 Days" and "Adventures of the Solar System" (Chinese translation). With the increase of popularity, Verne's wealth is also growing rapidly.
Verne was unhappy in his later years, his creation decreased and he entered a period of weakness. His Carpathian Castle is autobiographical, showing the unknown side of life.
March 1905, Verne was hemiplegic, lost consciousness on 24th, and died at 8: 00 on 25th.
1905 On March 28th, a grand funeral was held, and the whole world sent telegrams to mourn this great science fiction writer.
Characteristics of the story
Verne's stories are lively, humorous and full of fun, which can inspire people, especially teenagers, to love science and yearn for adventure, so they have been welcomed by readers all over the world for more than 100 years. According to UNESCO, Verne is one of the top ten famous translators in the world.
Verne is an excellent writer of popular novels. He has the ability to make his illusion touchable, and his feelings are all-round, conveying some human enthusiasm from plain literature. However, the characters in Verne's novels are all the same except a few. It seems that he can't create more important characters. The characters are pure good guys and bad guys, and there is no psychological activity. From the single gender of the characters in his works, we can also see his prejudice against women, which vaguely reveals his mentality of suffering. In addition, Verne's works are full of obvious social tendencies. He is a patriot (French is the best), a national liberator (supporting the oppressed national struggle), an anarchist to some extent (showing disorder in some works), and finally a galactic imperialist (with the desire to create a cosmic empire).
Verne's works are full of knowledge, but he himself is a mystic of the universe and has a mysterious worship of the world. In his novels, sometimes the thinking is not deep enough and the theme is often repeated.
But on the whole, Verne's attempt was great. Although all his works are trivial, they still excite us after reading them. As the Pope said when he met Verne in 1884, "It's not that I don't know the scientific value of your works, but what I cherish most is their purity, moral value and spiritual strength." (Anonymous)

Verne's works not only attract readers with smooth and fresh writing and ups and downs. What is more commendable is that his extraordinary imagination, romantic and scientific fantasy fascinates readers, crosses the threshold of the times and enters the future world ahead of time.
Take the submarine as an example. Although Alexander I, the Russian Empire, sat in a sealed container as early as 2000 years ago, he sank to the bottom of the sea for a while and then surfaced, but people have never been able to build a ship that can really sail to the bottom of the sea. 1976, the famous American scientist robert fulton set out to design submarines. It was not until 1863 that people began to try very small submarines. The living room on the ship is 30 feet long, 18 feet wide and 15 feet high. There is actually a library on board, with books 12000 volumes. This submarine can travel 20 thousand miles under the sea, not to mention that no one had been to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean, Indian Ocean and Atlantic Ocean at that time. With his rich imagination, Verne vividly described the unknown underwater world, making readers seem to see it, hear its voice and enter its territory!
At that time, the telegraph had not been invented. In Verne's works, there are not only telegrams, but also "audio faxes"-television.
Verne wrote about helicopters in his works decades before the Wright brothers made the first plane.
Verne also wrote three explorers sitting in a big shell with a fantastic pen and shooting them at the moon with a giant gun-this is the book From the Earth to the Moon, which describes space life.
Verne is known as "the prophet of the age of science". Later, many scientists said that they were inspired by Verne's works before they embarked on the road of science. For example, Simon Lake, one of the inventors of submarine, a young American scientist, built the Argu submarine in 1897. In the first sentence of his autobiography, Lake said, "jules verne is the general guide of my life." Admiral Byrd, balloon and navigation explorer August piccard and Marconi, one of the inventors of radio, all said that their inventions were inspired by Verne's science fiction. French Marshal Liautey even said: "Modern science is just the process of putting Verne's prediction into practice!"
Verne became a prophet of the scientific age because he lived in an era of the rise and development of capitalism. In the era of great development of science and technology. His works are a mirror of the times, reflecting people's strong desire to get rid of small-scale manual production, realize large-scale capitalist production and develop science and technology.
When Verne died, people made a proper evaluation of him: "He was both a writer among scientists and a scientist among writers." Verne was a master who skillfully combined science with literature.
The praise of Verne by the world
Father of submarine: Verne is the director of my life.
Ziorsky, the father of Russian space flight: "Verne's novels inspired my thoughts and made me fantasize in a certain direction."
Liautey Sheng, a French academician, said: "Modern science and technology is just a process of putting Verne's predictions into practice."
