There were very few places in the world that Jules Verne, the writer, didn’ t visit. He went around the world a hundred times or more. He voyaged sixty miles under the sea, moved around the moon, explored the center of the earth, and talked with natives in Australia.
Jules Verne, the man, was a stay-at-home. He was more apt(常会)to be tired from writer’s cramp(写作带来的劳累)than from traveling. He did make a few visits to Europe and North Africa. And he made one six-week tour of New York State. But that was all. Yet he was the world’s most extraordinary tourist.
He never held a test tube in his hand but he was an inspiration to the scientist in the laboratory. Long before radio was invented, he had TV working in his books. His name for it was phono-telephoto. He had helicopters 50 years before the Wright brothers flew their first plane. In fact, there were few wonders of the twentieth century that this man of the 19th century didn’ t see in advance. In his stories, you can read about air conditioning, skyscrapers, electrically-operated submarines, and airplanes.
He inspired many famous people. Admiral Rionard E. Byrd, returning from his flight across the North Pole, said that Jules Verne had been his guide. Simon Lake, father of modern submarine, wrote, "Jules Verne was the general director of my life. " He started many other men thinking. Among them were the inventor of the helicopter and the creator of the telegraph.
Many of Verne’ s books were set in the future. In these stories, people made synthetic diamond and developed a convertible automobile-ship-helicopter-plane. They received news flashes on television, worked in giant skyscrapers and rode to work on highways much like the ones we ride today. It is hard to believe that the books were written nearly one hundred years ago.
Verne died in 1905. He hadn’ t lived to see many of his imaginations come true. But this hadn’t surprised him, for he had once said, "What one man can imagine, another can do. "
Jules Verne was a writer who______.
