Sinossi
Le monotone serate del Reform Club di Londra, tra la lettura di un giornale e una partita a whist, sono interrotte da una scommessa tra alcuni membri e Phileas Fogg, un gentleman eccentrico convinto di poter fare il giro del mondo in soli ottanta giorni. Ad accompagnarlo in questa sfida contro il tempo è il domestico francese Jean Passepartout, astuto e fedele. Insieme attraversano terre esotiche e luoghi pericolosi, passando per Italia, Egitto, India, Giappone e Stati Uniti e usando qualsiasi mezzo di trasporto (treno, piroscafo, slitta o elefante), inseguiti dall'agente Fix che li crede responsabili di un furto in banca. Pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1873, rimane il romanzo avventuroso per eccellenza e non smette di affascinarci in un'epoca di viaggi in aereo.

And if your idea of a good climactic fight scene involves the enti Leggi tutto
Well... So I do believe I saved a book's life. About to be tossed away, being a pariah of the garage sale variety, I not only took it home; I ...READ it. Aglow with endearing cliches, this is the source of plenty of adventure stories, many of which are films, comics, etc. Verne's imagination is gran Leggi tutto

Whether or not you've read the novel or watched the movie, Jules Verne's Around the World in 80 Days is so embedded in Western culture that just about everyone knows the basic plot premise: wealthy and reticent Englishman Phileas Fogg makes gentlemanly bet with his chums that he can travel aroun
“The chance which now seems lost may present itself at the last moment.” I got this novel from my cousin. It’s her course book. I didn’t want to read this novel because it’s out of my taste. It’s neither Fantasy nor Sci-Fi. But she made me to read this… Well, this book was good. Really good. But Leggi tutto
