Around the World in Eighty Days八十天環(huán)游地球（III）（英文版）

本書是法國著名作家儒勒·凡爾納的代表作之一。對于喜歡凡爾納作品的讀者來說，本書值得一讀。本版為英文版，英語愛好者不可錯過。福格和改良俱樂部的成員打賭可以在八十天里環(huán)游地球一周。接著便帶著綽號叫“萬事通”的仆人啟程從倫敦出發(fā)，開始了不可思議的環(huán)球旅行。他一路上遭人跟蹤，舍身救人、與惡僧對簿公堂、遭暗算誤了船班、遇風浪海上搏擊、與仆人失散、勇斗劫匪、救仆人身赴險境、燃料告急、海上經受考驗，疑為竊賊海關被囚……幾乎所有的苦難和意外都被福格不幸碰上了，然而他總能一次次神奇地化險為夷。作者在介紹各地的風土人情和地理知識的同時，還以強烈的正義感和人道主義精神，對各種野蠻、落后、愚昧的社會現(xiàn)狀進行了批判和鞭撻。這部小說的主題非常豐富，科幻主題、漫游主題、偵探主題、愛情主題等主題相互交叉、融合，構筑起了相當豐富的意義空間，讀來饒有趣味，可讀性極強。受到儒勒·凡爾納小說《八十天環(huán)游地球》的鼓舞，許多冒險旅行家為打破環(huán)球旅行的紀錄，競相出發(fā)，開展環(huán)球旅行競賽。人們相繼打破環(huán)球旅行紀錄。不僅如此，本書還被改編成電影，受到全世界觀眾的喜愛。凡爾納借福格的行蹤，串連了歐洲、南亞、東亞、北美各目的地形地貌、氣候特征、城市建筑特色和風土人情，仿佛一部刻畫入微的宏大的地理科普書一般，將精確的風情和書中人物跌宕起伏的命運緊密結合，使世界各地奇詭的宗教風俗和當地習慣勢力成為情節(jié)的“推進器”，為讀者呈現(xiàn)出萬花筒般目不暇接的“環(huán)游奇跡”。
