He was one of the most noticeable members of the Reform Club, though he seemed always to avoid attracting attention; an enigmatical personage, about whom little was known, except that he was a polished man of the world. People said that he resembled Byron-at least that his head was Byronic; but he was a bearded, tranquil Byron, who might live on a thousand years without growing old. Certainly an Englishman, it was more doubtful whether Phileas Fogg was a Londoner. He was never seen on 'Change, nor at the Bank, nor in the counting-rooms of the "City"; no ships ever came into London docks of which he was the owner; he had no public employment; he had never been entered at any of the Inns of Court, either at the Temple, or Lincoln's Inn, or Gray's Inn; nor had his voice ever resounded in the Court of Chancery, or in the Exchequer, or the Queen's Bench, or the Ecclesiastical Courts. He certainly was not a manufacturer; nor was he a merchant or a gentleman farmer. His name was strange to the scientific and learned societies, and he never was known to take part in the sage deliberations of the Royal Institution or the London Institution, the Artisan's Association, or the Institution of Arts and Sciences. He belonged, in fact, to none of the numerous societies which swarm in the English capital, from the Harmonic to that of the Entomologists, founded mainly for the purpose of abolishing pernicious insects.

Around the World in 80 Days is the earlier fiction which was writen by Jules Verne. To be honest, during that time, Jules's fiction was in the initial stage. He still had a slight lack of enthusiasm in writing strategy, structure and style. But that doesn't...
評分現在我們可以接觸到很多的影視作品,文藝作品,所以讀這本書的時候,我的第一感覺是典型。不過這是一百四十多年前的作品,相信當時應該引起瞭不小的反響。凡爾納的作品也一定為後來的作者提供瞭不少的參考和學習,所以可以用另外一個詞來形容這部作品,那就是——經典。...
評分終於迴到瞭改良俱樂部的大廳。旅行也到瞭終點。 自從走齣印度,我對本書的情節就不再有什麼幻想瞭,注定是一本流水賬。讀起來像一個長篇的寓言故事。每個人都有不同的收獲,不同的感觸。 但感觸又頗多,福格先生存在嗎?我不清楚,溫柔而又有力的人。他的過去誰也不清楚。或許是...
評分這本書講的是一位英國紳士費裏亞·福剋先生和朋友打瞭個賭,要在八十天環遊地球,而朋友們認為不可能。要知道,當時飛機還沒被發明,要在短短八十天環遊地球一周,幾乎是癡人說夢。 費裏亞·福剋先生是個生活很有規律的人,就像一部機器。上一個僕人就是因為颳鬍子的熱水低瞭兩...

圖書標籤: 英文原版 外國文學 小說 環球旅行 名著 文學 Verne 科幻
還是電影改編的更好看,原著有點失望
評分地鐵好伴侶
評分中學的時候看過中文版的《海底兩萬裏》,這本around the world in 80 days也是凡爾納三部麯之一,蠻有意思。19世紀的法國人就那麼博學瞭,瞭解世界各地的好多事情。有時間看下最後一本《氣球上的五星期》
評分想象中的fogg是一個年過半百的沉穩老男人
評分沒有精讀,囫圇吞棗地看也還不錯……
