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.

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...
评分在穿越美国的火车上,摩门教长老对乘客们宣传摩门教的教义。可能是神甫实在太唐僧,也可能是听众们缺乏耐心,总之到最后只剩下我们忠实的仆人路路通先生一个人聚精会神,专心致志地听讲,把人长老感动到不行。 但是,即使面临可以娶很多个老婆的诱惑,当神甫对他唯一的听众满怀...
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...
