Synopsis "El Faro del fin del Mundo (in Spanish)"

Julio Verne, uno de los autores más prolíficos de la historia de la literatura, abocándose en especial a las historias de aventuras en las que se entremezclan la ciencia y la imaginación. Sus protagonistas son personas curiosas, enérgicas, aventureras, a los que Verne prefiere por sobre los hombres cargados de teorías. Su héroe fue el aventurero de un optimismo indomable, y pleno de esperanza en el progreso humano.'Jornalero laborioso y risueño', dijo de él Jorge Luis Borges, 'cuyas ficciones trafican en cosas probables'.'

Jules Verne was a prolific French author who is considered one of the fathers of science fiction, alongside the English H. G. Wells. He began by writing some theatrical plays and published several short stories and scientific articles. His ambition was to write a new type of novel, one that combined adventure with scientific facts. That dream was fulfilled with Five Weeks in a Balloon, the first of his great novels. Verne was always very interested in the scientific novelties of his time. From that passion, seminal works of science fiction such as Journey to the Center of the Earth, Around the Moon, and Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea were born. Verne's influence goes beyond literature, as he has inspired several generations of people who have dedicated themselves to science.
