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.

評分 評分《八十天環遊地球》,光看題目就如此的吸引人。有多少人畢生的願望就是能夠環遊世界,可是不是沒有時間、就是沒有精力、要不就是沒有金錢。汪國真的詩“遠方對於我們都有一種誘惑/不是誘惑於美麗/就是誘惑於傳說/縱使遠方的風景並不那麼盡如人意/這也是一個美麗的錯/仰首是春...

“人生最美的風景莫過於內心的從容淡定”。內心堅持的處世之道,對陌生人的彬彬有禮,對受難者的同情和援助,對周圍人的慷慨,甚至是對尊嚴的重視,這些都是讓他能夠處事不驚的力量源泉。
