Jules Verne Selected Works
Jules Gabriel Verne was a French novelist, poet, and playwright best known for his adventure novels and his profound influence on the literary genre of science fiction.
Verne was born to bourgeois parents in the seaport of Nantes, where he was trained to follow in his father's footsteps as a lawyer, but quit the profession early in life to write for magazines and the stage. His collaboration with the publisher Pierre-Jules Hetzel led to the creation of the Voyages Extraordinaires, a widely popular series of scrupulously researched adventure novels including Journey to the Center of the Earth, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, and Around the World in Eighty Days.

I enjoy reading it . Its very educational
Even in broad daylight the pages turn black and the text turns white which is very uncomfortable! Please make a setting to manually adjust the night mode! In the description, rather than biography please explain how to operate this setting of night mode which turns on ramdomly anytime!
