「但凡人能想像到的事物，必定有人能將它實現。」 他的幻想建立在有限的科學知識上，煥發出新的光芒 假說言地球空心，他寫出《地心歷險記》 有人嘗試開發潛水艇，他寫出《海底兩萬里》 一句玩笑話「把人打到月亮」，他寫出《從地球到月球》 不少當時天馬行空的幻想，時至今日已經司空見慣 他被稱為「預言家」，用筆推動科學的齒輪 他是科幻小說的濫觴──朱爾‧凡爾納！ ▎出生海港，探索與冒險成為人生基調 凡爾納出生海港城市，神秘的海洋牽動他無所顧忌的幻想，他一生鍾愛探索未知以及思考未知中的可能性，在大量的思考與求證中，推敲出看似天馬行空實際可行的科學新觀點，終其一生熱愛航海，遊遍歐洲，甚至寫出《海底兩萬里》（Vingt mille lieues sous les mers），揮灑他的海洋幻想。 ▎闖蕩巴黎，文學就是終身職志 失戀的凡爾納離開家鄉這片傷心地來到巴黎尋找新世界，他遇見了許多文學名流，認識了小仲馬，結識了扶持一輩子的出版商好友，他也更加堅定：雖然為讓父親開心不得不攻讀法律，但他最終將投身文學的懷抱！ ▎初試啼聲一炮而紅，科幻的道路拓寬者 邁入婚姻的凡爾納為了家計不得不進入金融業，利用上班餘剩的時間刻苦創作，幸虧碰上一心為他著想的妻子，他的處女作《氣球上的五星期》（Cinq semaines en ballon）大獲成功。在凡爾納之前，科幻作品還有當時尚未成熟的《科學怪人》（Frankenstein），而凡爾納的作品宣告著全新的文學體裁已經成熟，他完美地結合科學與文學，成為開創與拓寬者。 ▎科幻的成功，是一點的科學加上嚴謹想像 成名後的十年間，凡爾納創造了生命中的重要作品： 他採用地球空心假說，創造出電影改編寵兒《地心歷險記》（Voyage au centre de la Terre）；潛水艇剛被發明沒多久，技術仍不成熟，他寫出《海底兩萬里》，鸚鵡螺號變成所有潛水艇的致敬對象，催生潛水艇的技術成熟；他請數學家朋友一起蒐集大量資料，計算引力與發射角度，寫出把人送上月球的《從地球到月球》（De la Terre à la Lune），火箭發射的角度與回到地球的落點與1960年代登上月球的阿波羅13號相差無幾，火箭的座艙與高度甚至一模一樣。 凡爾納成功預言了火箭的誕生，或者可以說──是他啟發了人類創造火箭的思想。 ▎終身創作，科學與文學的完美結合 《環遊世界八十天》（Le tour
