Theme
Most of Vernes books have to do with adventure and science Here is a trailer from the 1969 Journey to the center of the earth which shows what kind of things Jules Verne could imagine and write into a book. Here is a sample of Jourey to the Center of the Earth "You like the sea, Captain?"
"Yes; I love it! The sea is everything. It covers seven tenths of the terrestrial globe. Its breath is pure and healthy. It is an immense desert, where man is never lonely, for he feels life stirring on all sides. The sea is only the embodiment of a supernatural and wonderful existence. It is nothing but love and emotion; it is the 'Living Infinite,' as one of your poets has said. In fact, Professor, Nature manifests herself in it by her three kingdoms--mineral, vegetable, and animal. The sea is the vast reservoir of Nature. The globe began with sea, so to speak; and who knows if it will not end with it? In it is supreme tranquillity. The sea does not belong to despots. Upon its surface men can still exercise unjust laws, fight, tear one another to pieces, and be carried away with terrestrial horrors. But at thirty feet below its level, their reign ceases, their influence is quenched, and their power disappears. Ah! sir, live--live in the bosom of the waters! There only is independence! There I recognise no masters! There I am free!"--Ch. 10
Jules Verne influenced many writers because, he opened the door to what was never writen about
Verne made adventure and science popular so that everyone started to read has books
Vladimir Obruchev who was a Russian explorer
Derek Benz who is a fantasy fiction author
