Science fiction is a popular kind of writing， and many people think of Jules Verne as the father of science fiction. He was born in France in 1828. His father wanted him to become a lawyer， but from his early twenties Verne decided to become a writer. At first he wrote plays for the theater. Then， in 1863， he wrote a story called Five Weeks in a Balloon. The success of this book encouraged him to write more stories such as A Journey to the Center of the Earth （1864） and From the Earth to the Moon （1865）.
In the 19th century， many people were interested in science and inventions. Jules Verne wrote about scientific subjects in his stories and， as a resuit， they were very popular. Verne's writing included many predictions（預言） for the 20th century and many of them came true.He described space flight， movies， and air conditioning， a long time before they appeared. These books were very successful and they made Verne rich.
Jules Verne's books have been the subjects for many movies. 20，000 Leagues Under the Sea was a successful movie for Walt Disney. It was the first Disney movie to use real actors instead of cartoon drawings. Around the World in Eighty Days is another famous movie based on one of Verne's books. The main character is an Englishman called Phileas Fogg. For him， the most important thing is to be always on time！
