Reading books is one of my hobbies. I have a few favourite authors, but at present my favourite foreign writer is Jules Verne, one of the best French writers.
Jules Verne was born in 1828 and died in 1905. He was trained as a lawyer but he chose to write for magazines and the theatre. He created a new kind of novel that combined scientific fact with adventure fiction. It was called “scientific fiction". Verne's books quickly became best-sellers. He wrote more than 60 books that formed the popular series "Voyages extraordinaires" (“Extraordinary Journeys”). Most of his books are still popular with readers all over the world. The most famous works by Jules Verne are “A Journey to the Centre of the Earth”, “Around the World in Eighty Days”, “The Mysterious Island”, “Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea”, “From the Earth to the Moon”.
My favourite book by him is “The Mysterious Island”. It is so interesting that I have read it twice. The best part of the book for me is the details of the main characters' survival and the author's belief in people and their ability to build a fair world.
