What is Jules Verne famous for?

Answer 1

The last books he wrote were "the invasion of the sea" and "The lighthouse at the end of the earth". The first one was the last one that was published before he died, written in 1904. According to Wikipedia:

"The invasion of the sea is an adventure novel by Jules Verne describing the exploits of Arab nomads and European travelers in Saharan Africa. The purpose of the Westerners' visit is to study the feasibility of flooding a low-lying region of the Sahara desert to create an inland sea and open up the interior of Northern Africa to trade. In the end, however, the protagonists' pride in humanity's potential to control and reshape the world is humbled by a cataclysmic earthquake which results in the natural formation of just such a sea." The second one was published after his death. Wikipediaquote again: "is an adventure novel by the French Autor Jules Verne. It was first published posthumously in 1905. The plot of the novel involves piracy in the South Atlantic during the mid-19th century, with a theme of survival in extreme circumstances, and events centering on an isolated lighthouse. Verne was inspired by the real lighthouse at the Isla de los Estados, near Tierra del Fuego. Although not as well known as Verne's other novels, it is generally considered as good by Verne's fans and the literature critics. In 1971 the novel was adapted into a movie.

Both of these last books were made by Verne with the help of his son.

But the very last novel that was ever published was "Paris in the 20th Century". It's often referred to as Verne's "lost" novel. It was written in 1863 and set is 1960... It's about a young man a who lives in a technologically advanced, but culturally backwards future. This man lives in a world of glass skyskrapers, high-speeds trains, gas-powered automobiles and even a worldwide communications network. Yet the main character cannot find happiness and comes to a tragic end. The book paints a grim view of the future. Verne's publisher Hetzel thought the novel's pessimism would damage Verne's then booming career, and suggested he wait 20 years to publish it. Verne put the manuscript in a safe, where it was discovered by his great-grandson in 1989. It was published in 1994.
