A true classic in both film & print! Jules Verne originally considered himself a failure at writing, influenced by James Fenimore Cooper, Sir Walter Scott, Daniel Defoe, Johann David Wyss, and particularly Edgar Allan Poe, he began writing books about adventure. Repeated rejections led him to despair, but his wife persuaded him to try once more. He found a new publisher (Jules Hetzel) who promised to publish his work if he turned it into fiction and offered him a lifetime contract if he published two books a year. Verne had found his field and his writing future.
