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.
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...
评分现在我们可以接触到很多的影视作品,文艺作品,所以读这本书的时候,我的第一感觉是典型。不过这是一百四十多年前的作品,相信当时应该引起了不小的反响。凡尔纳的作品也一定为后来的作者提供了不少的参考和学习,所以可以用另外一个词来形容这部作品,那就是——经典。...
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 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...
没有精读,囫囵吞枣地看也还不错……

评分美国之行有点海底两万里的味道。凡尔纳很厉害,感觉他去过很多地方似的。foggy感觉就是他自己,严谨、博学。fogg一路都很牛逼,但是最后夺船那下有点痞气。主角还是有强烈的光环,很有钱。。。。另外,如果因为往东走多了一天,那从纽约搭乘到英国的轮船按说应该能够赶上呀。。。这边是否是个bug?
评分not so difficult with less dialog and great descriptions which is good for reading in metro.
