Jules Verne's Birthday ^__^

By Delon Anthony

An author, a writter, a role model for many people, we honour your birthday today (February 8, 1828 – March 24, 1905)

Jules Gabriel Verne (French pronunciation: [ʒyl vɛʁn]; February 8, 1828 – March 24, 1905) was a French author from Brittany who pioneered the science-fiction genre. He is best known for novels such as Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea (1870), A Journey to the Center of the Earth (1864), and Around the World in Eighty Days (1873). Verne wrote about space, air, and underwater travel before air travel and practical submarines were invented, and before practical means of space travel had been devised. He is the third most translated individual author in the world, according to Index Translation um. Some of his books have been made into films. Verne, along with Hugo Gernsback and H. G. Wells, is often popularly referred to as the "Father of Science Fiction".[1]


i never really knew this guy cause he was born way in the past even before my parents were born, :D 
but still he wrote some really nice books that i really like especially the book "A journey to the centre on the earth" 



i will leave you with this sad note On March 9 1886, as Verne was coming home, his twenty-five-year-old nephew, Gaston, shot him with a gun. One bullet missed, but the second entered Verne's left leg, giving him a limp that would not be cured. The incident was hushed up by the media, and Gaston spent the rest of his life in an asylum.


but still Verne was the best :D 
well any ways take care guys and enjoy and stay tuned for more :D
