France
Novelist
Jules Verne stepped down as a writer after meeting publisher Pierre-Jules, who is developing a number of works that will make the author of the author's Voyages Extra ordinaries. Often referred to as the "Father of Science Fiction," Verne wrote books about various innovations and technological advances over the years before they became practical. Although he died in 1905, his works continued to be published well after his death, and he became the second most translated writer in the world.
