Who influenced Verne's creation?

Verne's creation was influenced by many writers. His early works were influenced by James fenimore Cooper and Sir Walter Scott, and he especially liked Scott's The New Robinson Crusoe. In addition, influenced by edgar allan poe, he regarded Poe as a literary mentor. Verne expressed his fascination with Poe's theme and creative method, but at the same time criticized Poe's materialism, lack of faith and bohemian characteristics. His first attempt to create science fiction may be influenced by Edgar Allan Poe's novel Balloon Scam, and this inspiration comes from a professional photographer he met, who published his works under the name of Nada and planned a series of balloon launching activities, which inspired Verne to create Adam in From the Earth to the Moon and Flying Around the Moon.
