Hollywood Presents Jules Verne

Even for those who have never read Jules Verne (1828–1905), the author's very name conjures visions of the submarine in Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea , the epic race in Around the World in Eighty Days , the spacecraft in From the Earth to the Moon , and the daring descent in Journey to the Center of the Earth . One of the most widely translated authors of all time, Verne has inspired filmmakers since the early silent period and continues to fascinate audiences more than one hundred years
