How long does it take to travel around the world? The journey used to take years. But with the development of technology, people could travel faster. Jules Verne, a French writer, wrote a book about some people’s trip around the world in 80 days. The book is Around the World in Eighty Days.
The story began to appear in a newspaper in 1872. Then in 1873, the book came out. It was written in French. People soon translated it into English, Spanish, Italian, and many other languages. Over the years, they’ve turned it into plays, films, TV shows, and games.
Verne had written adventure (冒险) books before. He put out Journey to the Center of the Earth in 1864 and Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea in 1870. Yet Around the World in Eighty Days became his most popular work. It is still one of the most famous books. And it’s now 150 years old.
In the story, the main character Fogg says that a traveler could cross the planet in 80 days. But his friends don’t believe that. Fogg offers to make a bet (打赌). With the deal done, Fogg leaves at once.
Fogg takes a servant named Passepartout with him. Together, they take a train through Europe. Then they go to Egypt by boat. From there, they ride into the Indian Ocean. They continue their journey by riding an elephant through a forest in India when the railway isn’t finished. From Asia they take another boat to the US. Then they travel across the US by train and from there, they go back to England by sea.
Readers loved the adventure story. Though it was a story, Fogg inspired (激励) some real journeys. One was from Nellie Bly, an American reporter. In 1889, she began her round - the - world trip and completed it in 72 days.
