求答案There were very few places in the world that Jules Verne,the writer,did not visit.He went round the world a hundred times or more.Once he did it in eighty days,unheard of in the nineteenth century.He voyaged 6,000 miles under the sea,went around the moon,explored the center of the earth,and chatted with natives in Australia.
Jules Verne,the man,was a stay-at-home person.He was more likely to be tired from writing than from traveling.He did make a few visits to Europe and North America.And he made one 6-week tour of New York State.But that was all.He spent less than one of his 77 years traveling.Yet he was the world's most outstanding tourist.His books are crowded with hunting and fishing trips.Jules actually went hunting only once.Then he raised his gun and shot off the game officer's hat!
He wasn't a scientist himself,but he encouraged many people to become scientists.Long before radio was invented,he had TV working in his books.His name for it was different,though.He had flying machines 50 years before the Wright brothers flew their first plane at Kitty Hawk.In fact,there were few wonders of the 20th century that this man of the 19th century did not see coming.In his stories you can read about air conditioning,tall buildings,advanced weapons,tanks,boats that can travel under the water,and airplanes.
