''Jules Verne (1828-1905), French writer and pioneer of science fiction, whose best known works today are Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea(1870) and Around the World in Eighty Days (1873).
Jules Gabriel Verne was born on February 8, 1828, in Nantes, France. His parents were of a seafaring tradition, a factor which influenced his writings. As a boy, Jules Verne ran off to be a cabin boy on a merchant ship, but he was caught and returned to his parents. In 1847 Jules was sent to study law in Paris. While there, however, his passion for the theatre grew. Later in 1850, Jules Verne's first play was published. His father was outraged when he heard that Jules was not going to continue law, so he discontinued the money he was giving him to pay for his expenses in Paris. This forced Verne to make money by selling his stories.
Jules Verne died in the city of Amines on March 24, 1905.''

Jules Verne become a hero when he wrote the book ''Around the world in 80 days'', in 1873.
The person mayor accomplishment was the book ''Around the World in 80 Days'' and the book ''Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea''. I admire Jules Verne because he does not wanted to listen his father and he does not wanted to stydu law, because he wanted to be writter. From this person life i learned that the parents can not force their children to stydu what they did not like. The books of Jules Verne are very popular around the world and he is world famous.
