Писатель родился в Нанте, изучал юриспруденцию в Париже, с 1848 по 1863 год писал пьесы и либретто для опер. В 1863 году опубликовал роман «Пять недель на воздушном шаре»; с этого романа и началась карьера Верна как писателя-фантаста. За свою жизнь он опубликовал свыше 60 научно-фантастических и приключенческих романов, повестей и рассказов, среди них — знаменитая трилогия, состоящая из романов «Дети капитана Гранта» (1868), «Двадцать тысяч лье под водой» (1870) и «Таинственный остров» (1875). Вряд ли будет преувеличением сказать, что Верн предвосхитил многие научные открытия — в его романах присутствуют субмарины и вертолеты, управляемые ракеты и «живые картинки» (кино); также он первым заговорил о полетах в космос и об освоении космического пространства. По романам Верна поставлено множество фильмов — первый из которых, «Путешествие на Луну», был снят французским пионером кинематографа Жоржем Мелье в 1902 году.
отрывок из произведения:
...The facts relating to this apparition (entered in various log-books) agreed in most respects as to the shape of the object or creature in question, the untiring rapidity of its movements, its surprising power of locomotion, and the peculiar life with which it seemed endowed. If it was a whale, it surpassed in size all those hitherto classified in science. Taking into consideration the mean of observations made at divers timesrejecting the timid estimate of those who assigned to this object a length of two hundred feet, equally with the exaggerated opinions which set it down as a mile in width and three in length-we might fairly conclude that this mysterious being surpassed greatly all dimensions admitted by the learned ones of the day, if it existed at all. And that it DID exist was an undeniable fact; and, with that tendency which disposes the human mind in favour of the marvellous, we can understand the excitement produced in the entire world by this supernatural apparition. As to classing it in the list of fables, the idea was out of the question.
On the 20th of July, 1866, the steamer Governor Higginson, of the Calcutta and Burnach Steam Navigation Company, had met this moving mass five miles off the east coast of Australia. Captain Baker thought at first that he was in the presence of an unknown sandbank; he even prepared to determine its exact position when two columns of water, projected by the mysterious object, shot with a hissing noise a hundred and fifty feet up into the air. Now, unless the sandbank had been submitted to the intermittent eruption of a geyser, the Governor Higginson had to do neither more nor less than with an aquatic mammal, unknown till then, which threw up from its blow-holes columns of water mixed with air and vapour...
