the author

[Jules Verne was born in 1828 in the town of Nantes, in France. When he was a boy, he ran away from home and tried to get on a ship to the Caribbean. The men on the ship found him and sent him back home. In 1847, Jules's father sent him to Paris to study law. He did not like the subject very much and his father was angry when he left law school and started writing plays instead. His plays were not very successful at the beginning, and he had to find another way to earn money because he was in love with Honorine, a widow 1 with two young children. He became a stockbroker 2 and married Honorine a year later, in 1857. They had a son called Michel. During this time Verne continued writing, and in 1852 he wrote a book about how a man could travel across Africa in a hot-air balloon. 3 One publisher suggested that he wrote an adventure story, using the same ideas. 1. w id o w : th is w o m a n ’s h u s b a n d is dead. 2. stockbroker : a person w ho helps people invest their m oney in o th er com panies. * 3. hot-air balloon :

He did this, and in 1863, he wrote Five Weeks in a Balloon. People liked this new mixture of fact and fiction, and the book was an immediate success. With the help of his friend and publisher, Pierre-Jules Hetzel, he wrote many books, sometimes two a year. Some of the most famous of these are: A Journey to the Centre o f the Earth (1864), From the Earth to the Moon (1865) and Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea (1869). In these stories his heroes are clever men who are able to find solutions to problems and escape from dangerous situations. This is also the case in Around the World in Eighty Days (1873). This was not only Jules Verne's most popular story but he also saw it performed several times as a play during his own lifetime. Many of Jules Verne's stories became classic films, for example, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea (1954). Jules Verne was popular in his time because of people's interest in science. Today, people are interested to see how m any of his imaginary inventions became reality. For example, in From the Earth to the Moon, the story is very similar to the real events of man's first journey to the moon in the Apollo. Jules Verne did travel later on in his life, and in 1884 he did a tour of the Mediterranean. He died in 1905 in Amiens, France. Many people think of him as the 'father' of science fiction. Q

in the East

British Colonies in the East Dn 1600 the English queen, Elizabeth I, created a company called the East India Company. The new company was very powerful and it controlled the buying and selling of everything that came from the East. This company was later called the British East India Company. By the 19th century, the company was very rich. It had its own soldiers and it controlled large areas of Asia and Africa, such as India, Myanmar and parts of South Africa. It also took control of big ports that became countries, like Hong Kong and Singapore. This situation was dangerous for Britain because nobody in the company had official power to rule 2 these countries. The company's men did not understand the people that lived there and they often controlled these areas by violent methods. The company lost a lot of money and, after a big rebellion by Indian soldiers in 1857, the British government took responsibility for the areas controlled by the company. The countries became British colonies and British officials became their new rulers. The new colonies followed British law. The centre for British power in India was Calcutta (Kolkata today). At the time Jules Verne wrote Around the World in Eighty Days, many British people worked in Calcutta and it was a very important port. 1. Colonies : a re a s co n tro lled by a n o th e r p ow er, usually a n o th e r c o u n try in Europe. 2. to rule : to be in co n tro l of th e a r e a like a king or a q u e en c o n tro ls a co u ntry .

India became an independent country in 1947. Around this time, many other British colonies became independent too, but British officials stayed in Hong Kong until 1997, after an agreement with China.

India today

Dndia has the second largest population in the world. Its economy is growing fast, but it also has some of the world's poorest people. India is in South Asia. Over 7,000 kilometres of the country lie next to the sea. The Indian climate is different from north to south, and from the mountains to the low lands. In the south the climate is tropical, but in the north it is either very hot or almost cool. On the 49

high mountains of the Himalayas there is snow all year. India has dry weather but every year heavy rains arrive with winds called the 'm onsoons'. These rains, w ith the m elting 1 snow of the high mountains, fill the rivers, like the River Ganges. The Ganges is a very important river because the fields in the north get most of their water from this river. The biggest cities are Mumbai (Bombay), in the west, New Delhi, in the north, Kolkata (Calcutta), in the east and Chennai (Madras), in the south. India is a country of many different customs, 2 traditions and languages. Among the many religious groups there are Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Christians and Buddhists.

Taj Mahal.

There are many beautiful areas to visit and interesting things to see in India. There are a lot of beautiful temples, pagodas and forts.1 Probably one of the best-known monuments is the Taj Mahal. The Taj Mahal is a beautiful building made of white marble 2 near Agra, in north India. People also come to India to stay on the beaches or go to the forests and big national parks to see its amazing wildlife, such as elephants, monkeys, rhinoceroses and tigers. Today there are not many tigers in the wild, but you can go with a guide to the national parks. Killing tigers was once big business, but it is now against the law. Tourism is only part of India's economy. Agriculture is still one of In d ia's m ain industries, as w ell as textiles, 3 chem icals and electronics. In recent times there has been an increase in customer service jobs. For exam ple, there are people in India who are 1. forts : a type of castle with soldiers; it protects a town or area. 2. marble : a hard white stone. 3. te x tile s : material for clothes.

employed to give technical help on the telephone to people in other countries far away from India, like Britain. Another big industry is the film industry. Every year thousands of film s are m ade in M um bai. In fact the tow n is often called 'Bollywood' - a combination of its old city name - Bombay, and the American film capital, Hollywood. As well as going to the cinema to see Bollywood actors and actresses, other popular activities include music, dancing, and the theatre with long Hindu stories that can last for days! Cricket is probably India's most popular sport and the country has a strong national team.
