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.
我读的是2014年12月的新版本。 这本小说距今已有100多年了,但其中所富含的哲理却毫不过时。简单写一下我的收获: 1、一个最有激情的人,也可以是一个最循规蹈矩的人。过去我总是有意无意的蔑视那些循规蹈矩的人,觉得他们的生活乏善可陈。虽然,至今为...
评分在儒雅冷酷的外表下,有着波澜壮阔的一方世界。兵家有云:其疾如风,其徐如林,侵掠如火,不动如山,难知如阴,动如雷霆! 塑造了我欣赏的样子,不知其往,略有遗憾。一个能于火中取栗,又能在珠宝间自若,亦能在生死中如常的人,此等气魄,以往必不乏精彩。 这本书,说是流水...
评分从伦敦到苏伊士,途经塞尼山口和布林迪西;交通工具:火车、轮船;时间:7天。 由苏伊士乘船经过红海、亚丁湾、印度洋、阿拉伯海,最后到孟买;交通工具:轮船;时间:13天。 由印度孟买印度大陆到印度加尔各答;交通工具:火车;时间:3天。 由印度加尔各答经过马六甲海峡、孟加...
评分终于回到了改良俱乐部的大厅。旅行也到了终点。 自从走出印度,我对本书的情节就不再有什么幻想了,注定是一本流水账。读起来像一个长篇的寓言故事。每个人都有不同的收获,不同的感触。 但感触又颇多,福格先生存在吗?我不清楚,温柔而又有力的人。他的过去谁也不清楚。或许是...
想象中的fogg是一个年过半百的沉稳老男人
评分“人生最美的风景莫过于内心的从容淡定”。内心坚持的处世之道,对陌生人的彬彬有礼,对受难者的同情和援助,对周围人的慷慨,甚至是对尊严的重视,这些都是让他能够处事不惊的力量源泉。
评分微信读书终于在昨天把这本书了结了 大概就是你想不到的各种交通方式环游了一遍 书里的话就是brave many dangers 我最不喜欢的是在美国坐火车的那段 我不知道为什么写的特别混乱 我完全不知道他们到底开到了哪里 因为时不时就普及美国铁路及地理相关的内容(虽然我认为介绍风土人情是这本书的一大亮点) 小说最后真是唬了我一把 初中地理白学了 哈哈 准备看电影了
评分还是电影改编的更好看,原著有点失望
评分只看了目录和第一章,感觉很老式的英国上层观、绅士观(不知怎么就很有钱、整天出入小众俱乐部、打牌不为赢钱要将赢得筹码作为慈善基金、一定要有仆人等等),对我来说本身原著还挺难读的,就没继续看下去。耗时1-2h
