“What was the event that Jules Verne experienced and that allowed him to write his successful novels?”
Inspired by the life of young Jules Verne, Guido Sgardoli invents an entirely new story based on the narrative genre that so fascinated the French writer: science fiction. In this context, Guido Sgardoli imagines the events, sensations, and stories that might have inspired Jules Verne in writing the great classics that made him an immortal author. For example, at the age of eleven, Verne ran away from home to board a ship bound for the Indies—his romantic dream was to bring a coral necklace to the cousin he was in love with.
