Jules Verne 
Around the World in Eighty Days [EPUB ebook] 

Sokongan


Taking up a challenge from his whist partners, a mysterious English gentleman named Phileas Fogg wagers half his fortune and abandons his quiet domestic routine to undertake a daring feat: to circle the globe in a mere 80 days, an achievement unheard of in the Victorian world.
Fogg and Passepartout, his devoted manservant, avail themselves of virtually every known means of transportation in their wild race against time. All the while, a devious detective dogs their every step and introduces fresh obstacles. The resourceful Fogg faces each new trial with unshakable aplomb, through a constantly shifting background of exotic locales — from the jungles of India, a Chinese opium den, and a Japanese circus to a full-throttle train ride under attack by Sioux and a bloodless mutiny aboard a tramp steamer.
The most popular of Jules Verne’s fantastic adventure stories, Around the World in Eighty Days first appeared as a newspaper serial in 1872, much to the delight of a world already agog with recent advances in technology. Its enduring blend of comic misadventures and thrilling suspense continues to enchant generations of readers.

‘The reason Verne is still read by millions today is simply that he was one of the best storytellers who ever lived.’ — Arthur C. Clarke. Jules Verne started out composing librettos, but the French-born author’s passion for travel and exploration compelled him to turn to adventure tales, creating the prototype for today’s science fiction. One of the most translated authors in the world, Jules Verne is best known for his classics,
Journey to the Center of the Earth, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, and
Around the World in Eighty Days.
