HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics. 'Phileas Fogg was one of those mathematically exact people, who, never hurried and always ready, are economical of their steps and their motions. He never made one stride too many, always going by the shortest route. He did not give an idle look. He did not allow himself a superfluous gesture.' When Phileas Fogg wagers a bet that he can travel across the globe in just 80 days, little does he know about the epic journey that he is about to undertake. With his faithful French servant, Passepartout, Phileas Fogg embarks on the adventure of a lifetime, travelling across four continents by whatever means he can - train, elephant, steam ship - and experiencing endless surprises and mishaps along the way.
Jules Gabriel Verne (French pronunciation: [ʒyl vɛʁn]; 8 February 1828 – 24 March 1905) was a French author who helped pioneer the science-fiction genre. He is best known for his novels A Journey to the Centre of the Earth (1864), From the Earth to the Moon (1865), Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea (1869–1870), Around the World in Eighty Days (1873) and The Mysterious Island (1875).
Verne wrote about space, air, and underwater travel before navigable aircraft and practical submarines were invented, and before any means of space travel had been devised. Consequently he is often referred to as the "Father of science fiction", along with H. G. Wells, Hugo Gernsback and Edgar Allan Poe.
Verne is the second most translated author of all time, only behind Agatha Christie, with 4223 translations, according to Index Translationum. Some of his works have been made into films.

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...
评分我看的是这本书是一版一印的,之后印刷的有没有改正我就不清楚了。 第35页错的最多 第12行,“经都灵抵达蒙塞尼”应为“经蒙塞尼抵达都灵”(从下一行写的“离开都灵”可知) 第15行,“星期五下午五点”应为“星期六下午五点”(从上文“十月五日星期六下午四点,抵达布林迪...
评分我读的是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...
