Jules Verne has been the second most-translated author in the world since 1979, ranking below Agatha Christie and above William Shakespeare. He has sometimes been called the "father of science fiction", a title that has also been given to H. G. Wells and Hugo Gernsback. In the 2010s, he was the most translated French author in the world.
Verne is famous for his maritime novel "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas" which follows Captain Nemo and his submarine, the Nautilus, on maritime adventures, underwater discoveries, and encounters with sea creatures.
