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.

第一次對這個故事有模糊的記憶是關於電影,那是成龍在2004年拍的《環遊世界八十天》,雖然改編很大,當時就感覺很驚奇,特彆是對主人公少算一天的情節印象很深。後來搜瞭這個名字,改編的電影就有好幾個版本,我沒有去看那些電影,花瞭幾晚睡前時間把整本書讀完。 整個閱...
評分儒勒.凡爾納,應該是我最早能記住名的法國作傢,《80天環遊地球》是我讀的他第一個故事。少年時曾到處找他寫的小說,當時看的是中國青年齣版社在90年代再版的“凡爾納選集”,一共選擇瞭他的17本經典小說。這17本大都屬於凡爾納作品中“奇異的旅行”係列,比如《八十天環遊地球...
評分凡爾納是青少年時最喜歡的作傢之一。甚至可以說正是看瞭他的書,我纔開始閱讀世界名著。他的《神秘島》當時可是愛不釋手。當然此書也不錯。 對於當今來說,也許八十天已經太久瞭,可是對於當時來說,能夠這麼精確地計算並完成真是不容易。我要是再年輕一些福格先生真可...
評分在儒雅冷酷的外錶下,有著波瀾壯闊的一方世界。兵傢有雲:其疾如風,其徐如林,侵掠如火,不動如山,難知如陰,動如雷霆! 塑造瞭我欣賞的樣子,不知其往,略有遺憾。一個能於火中取栗,又能在珠寶間自若,亦能在生死中如常的人,此等氣魄,以往必不乏精彩。 這本書,說是流水...

“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。
評分還是電影改編的更好看,原著有點失望
評分美國之行有點海底兩萬裏的味道。凡爾納很厲害,感覺他去過很多地方似的。foggy感覺就是他自己,嚴謹、博學。fogg一路都很牛逼,但是最後奪船那下有點痞氣。主角還是有強烈的光環,很有錢。。。。另外,如果因為往東走多瞭一天,那從紐約搭乘到英國的輪船按說應該能夠趕上呀。。。這邊是否是個bug?
評分not so difficult with less dialog and great descriptions which is good for reading in metro.
