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...
评分初识这本书,是因为寒假的时候看那部很火却很无厘头的电视剧《北京青年》,里面叶坦的爸爸与何东说了一句话,他说,他小时候看这本书,羡慕凡尔纳笔下的主角,很想有一天自己也能环球世界一番。于是,今年在大批量买书的时候,看到这本书才10块钱,就毫不犹豫地买下了。买书这...
