One night in the reform club, Phileas Fogg bets his companions that he can travel across the globe in just eighty days. Breaking the well-established routine of his daily life, he immediately sets off for Dover with his astonished valet Passepartout.

Notice Appertaining To Books Around the World in Eighty Days (Extraordinary Voyages #11)

I finished Around the World in 80 Days today and it was even better than I remembered from my childhood. Admittedly, the version I had read as a child was the Great Illustrated Classics edition that was, unfortunately, abridged. I felt that a reading of the unabridged classic was long overdue. Shockingly enough, I still remembered the ending 20 years later.Just the task Phileas Fogg faces in traveling the world in 80 days (in the 19th century) and the obstacles that pop up to delay his travels

It had been a long time since I hadn't read an adventure by Jules Verne. It is, of course, to being placed in the historical context of the 19th century. The adventures of Phileas Fogg intended to introduce readers to the diversity of the world. It was. Also, it seems to me, a way of showing the British power and hegemony, which was then the first world power as well as to discover the new means of transport. Which then made it possible to quickly travel around the world, such as the steam navy

"Mum, could we travel the world in the same way that Phileas Fogg and Passepartout did?"The question propels me back in time, about three decades. This was the first Jules Verne book I read. I carried it home in a heavy school bag, in the darkness after an winter afternoon in the public library. I was ten, and I had to fill my long evenings, which started at sun set around half past two. I still remember the smell of the book, picked from the "Classics for children" section, and how I opened it

I really enjoyed this - a fun and interesting read, and more heartfelt than I expected. It's quite interesting to see a French take on 19th century Englishness, and a 19th century perspective on the world.

Man! The best adventure work till date!Review to follow.

Well that was rather amusing :-) Preferred the second half of the book, faster paced and more escapades!
