Nautilus Submarines, Moonlanding Spacecraft, Futuristic Tales--Jules Verne Imagined Them!
From the first time I read Jules Verne's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, I was hooked. Much of his imaginative ideas in his writings have come true--including nuclear submarines and space flight and moonlandings.
He was a prolific writer and had ideas that were way before their time. Check out the books listed here to get insight into this great writer's imagination.

Jules Verne's Books Were Way Ahead of Their Times
When Jules Verne described the operations of the submarine Nautilus in his book 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, he was so close to describing how a submarine under nuclear power could possibly operate--and this was long before nuclear power was discovered and effectively put to use. But his ideas were what eventually stimulated and inspired the planners and designers of the world's first nuclear submarine--the Nautilus.

- I ate up Jules Verne books as a young teenager, and I am still enamored of them, 50 years later. Journey to the Centre of the Earth, Around the World in 80 Days, 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, From the Earth to the Moon and a Trip Around It were and are among my favorites.
