Jules Verne (1828-1905) est un écrivain français, dont une grande partie de l'oeuvre est consacrée à des romans d'aventures et de science-fiction (appelés du temps de Jules Verne romans d'anticipation) comme Le Voyage au Centre de la Terre (1864) et Vingt Mille Lieues Sous les Mers (1869). Il fait ses études de rhétorique et de philosophie au Lycée de Nantes, (actuel Lycée Clémenceau) puis des études de droit après le baccalauréat. Il commence à écrire, des poèmes, une tragédie en vers. Il va terminer son droit à Paris en novembre 1848, bien plus intéressé par le théâtre. Il y fait la connaissance d'Alexandre Dumas, qui accepte de monter sa pièce Les Pailles Rompues, en 1850, dans son Théâtre-Historique, où elle y est jouée douze fois. Jules Verne publie ses premières nouvelles dans la revue Le Musée des Les Premiers Navires de la Marine Mexicaine et Un Drame dans les Airs en 1851.
