Features: This book selects two classic works by the French science fiction writer Jules Verne. Among them, "Around the World in Eighty Days" is one of Verne's most famous novels and also a classic of world science fiction. It is vivid, lively, and full of humor. The novel tells the story of Mr. Phileas Fogg, an Englishman, who completes a remarkable journey around the world in eighty days after making a bet with his friends. The book not only details the strange experiences and countless difficulties encountered by Mr. Fogg and his companions during the journey but also gradually brings the characters to life through the unfolding plot. Mr. Fogg, a silent, witty, brave, and humanitarian figure, his lively and impulsive servant, and others—all are vividly portrayed. After its publication, the work caused a sensation and was reprinted many times. In 1874, it was adapted into a play by the author himself and was equally well-received. World literary masterpieces reflect the culture of the specific era described by the author. Beyond the fluent writing, realistic descriptions, and detailed portrayals, what they leave the reader with is more a reflection and appreciation of the historical and cultural context of that time.
