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.
《八十天环游地球》,光看题目就如此的吸引人。有多少人毕生的愿望就是能够环游世界,可是不是没有时间、就是没有精力、要不就是没有金钱。汪国真的诗“远方对于我们都有一种诱惑/不是诱惑于美丽/就是诱惑于传说/纵使远方的风景并不那么尽如人意/这也是一个美丽的错/仰首是春...
评分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...
评分2013-11-10 15:13:33 我也想环游世界。不过目前尚无法实现,所以这本书让我神游下,尽管和我想要的有些不同,但是仍然不失其魅力。 读了有一段时间了,最鲜活的感受有些淡忘。不过没有关系,沉淀下来的,还记得的东西本身就是我更深刻的感悟和影响,不是么。不得不佩服作者凡...
评分凡尔纳是青少年时最喜欢的作家之一。甚至可以说正是看了他的书,我才开始阅读世界名著。他的《神秘岛》当时可是爱不释手。当然此书也不错。 对于当今来说,也许八十天已经太久了,可是对于当时来说,能够这么精确地计算并完成真是不容易。我要是再年轻一些福格先生真可...
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...
An amazing adventure story.
