Around the Wworld in 80 days

You have plenty of free time on your hands ? You have nothing to do ? Well maybe
you could head your attention towards the list with books we should read during the
summer break. I've noticed an astonishing book on the list. It is a marvelous
opportunity to present such a spectacular plot.

"Around the World in Eighty Days" is a fantasy novel set in the late 18th century. The
novelist - Jules Verne - blended the modern conventional inventions from the epoch
of the industrial revolution with the imaginary idea of crossing the Globe in only 80
days. The adventurer Fogg gets involved in an argument over an article in The Daily
Telegraph stating that with the opening of a new railway section in India will ensure
fast and reliable travel around the world in only 80 days. He makes a bet for the
collossal sum of 20000$ and departure for an endeavour which could bring him glory
and wealth or shame. He passes through Calculta, India, Siberia and New yourk in
his chase with the sun. Whether or not did he succeed in his risky enterprise I will
leave a mistery. The plot combined with the enginous conceptions of Jules Verne for
adventures and tension overcome most of the expectations some could have and
leave the critics speechless. The story compiles these state of the art ideas so as to
achieve such an absorbing story that will grab you in a moment and will leave at
dawn.

I would strongly encourage you to take a look at the book. The novel has many
merits - it has contributed towards the development and utilization of retrospection
in modern literature and on the other hand introduced long distance travels as
something spectacular and enticing and in my humble opinion you will not regret
reading it.
