Around the World in Eighty Days (selected Translations of Famous Works)
About This Novel
Jules Verne (1828-1905), a famous French science fiction novelist and "the father of science fiction". "Around the World in Eighty Days" is one of his important novels. Fogg and members of the Reform Club bet £20,000 on whether they could travel around the world in eighty days. Then he set off from London with his servant nicknamed "Passepartout" and began an incredible journey around the world. In the end, after experiencing natural and man-made disasters, in the 19th century when there were no airplanes or ocean ships, he actually completed this fantasy-like circumnavigation of the earth. Not only did he win a bet, but he also gained love. This book combines scientific knowledge, creativity, art and fun, and has a wide range of readers around the world.
