📖 Around the World in Eighty Days

Around the World in Eighty Days is a famous classic by Jules Verne. The scene is set in London, England, where Philias Fogg, a mysterious, expressionless, and rich man proposed a 20,000 pound wager that he can travel around the world in less than eighty days. His friends at the reform club immediately agreed, thinking it was impossible. With his newly appointed servant Jean Passepartout, Mr.Fogg officially began his daring journey around the world carrying 20,000 pounds. About the same time Mr. Fogg was leaving England, a bank robber with a similar identity as Mr.Fogg robbed 50,000 pounds from the Bank of England. A detective named Fix followed Mr. Fogg, waiting for a warrant to arrest Mr. Fogg. Shortly after traveling to Suez, Passepartout and his master arrived in Bombay, unaware of Detective Fix's purpose. While exploring Bombay, Passepartout made a grave mistake of setting foot in an Indian temple. After fleeing the scene, the pair finally reached Calcutta, rescuing an Indian widow about to be sacrificed. After an arrest and pricey bail due to Passepartout's mistake, Mr. Fogg crossed the sea once more to Hong Kong, where Fix admitted to Passepartout that Mr. Fogg was a robber. Passepartout refused to give his master up but was drugged with opium. Will Mr. Fogg reach London in time for his wager, or will Detective Fix slow him down or even arrest him? I recommend this book because it is a classic that dives deep into the world's history and culture during this time. This book also teaches readers lessons such as the themes of perseverance, friendship, and loyalty. Join Mr. Fogg and his servant in this exciting book that will keep you on the edge of your seat!

《八十天环游地球》是儒勒·凡尔纳的著名经典小说。故事发生在英国伦敦,神秘、冷漠且富有的菲利亚斯·福格提出了一项2万英镑的赌注,挑战在不到八十天的时间内环游地球。他在改革俱乐部的朋友们认为这是不可能的,立刻同意了这场赌局。带着他新雇佣的仆人让·帕斯帕图,福格先生正式开始了这场勇敢的环游世界的旅程,随身携带了2万英镑。就在福格先生离开英国的同时,一名与他长相相似的银行劫匪从英格兰银行抢走了5万英镑。一名名叫菲克斯的侦探开始跟踪福格,等待逮捕他的逮捕令。在旅行到苏伊士不久后,帕斯帕图和他的主人抵达了孟买,他们对侦探菲克斯的真实意图一无所知。在探索孟买时,帕斯帕图犯下了一个严重的错误——他进入了一座印度庙宇。逃离现场后,两人最终抵达加尔各答,途中救下了一名即将被祭祀的印度寡妇。由于帕斯帕图的失误,他们被逮捕并支付了高额保释金,福格先生再次渡海前往香港。在香港,菲克斯向帕斯帕图坦白,称福格先生就是那名银行劫匪。尽管如此,帕斯帕图拒绝出卖他的主人,却被人用鸦片迷晕。福格先生能否按时返回伦敦,赢得赌注,还是会被侦探菲克斯拖慢,甚至可能被逮捕?我推荐这本书,因为它是一部经典作品,深入描绘了当时的世界历史和文化。这本书还教会读者坚持不懈、友谊与忠诚等重要主题。加入福格先生和他的仆人,一起踏上这场令人激动不已的旅程吧,保证让你心跳加速,欲罢不能!
