Maybe I'm a pleb, but this guy has more than a few good lines of prose. Why is he considered a pleb author?

>La vieille maison... se tenait bien, grâce à un vieil orme vigoureusement encastré dans la façade, qui poussait au printemps ses bourgeons en fleurs à travers les vitraux des fenêtres.

I read "Journey to the Centre of the Earth", in the highly praised William Butcher translation. It's crap. All the characters are morons, Verne has never heard of "show not tell", and the science isn't even slightly plausible. And apparently the French think this is serious literature. It's laughable to think it could be compared to American or British meme-lit.

Is everything Verne wrote garbage, or should I try again with another of his works?
