His parents were of a seafaring tradition, a factor which influenced his writings. As a boy, Jules Verne ran off to be a cabin boy on a merchant ship, but he was caught and returned to his parents. In 1847, Jules was sent to study law in Paris. Later in 1850, Jules Verne's first play was published. His father was outraged when he heard that Jules was not going to continue law and discontinued the money he was giving him to pay for his expenses in Paris. This forced Verne to make money by selling his stories. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-sleek-node-id=\"qRbeeY\"\u003eIAN THOMPSON graduated from the Universities of Durham and Indiana.
