Around the World in 80 Days is an adventure novel written by the Frenchman Jules Verne in 1873. The work portrays the technological advancements of those times. After all, until the second half of the 19th century, crossing the world was very difficult compared to today. To accomplish it would be, at the very least, a feat that would take an unpredictable amount of time, perhaps many months.
However, with the emergence of powerful steamships and the creation and expansion of railway lines crossing territories such as India and the United States, this became possible. Even so, for someone to say they could accomplish this feat in eighty days, overcoming all kinds of challenges, seemed like a crazy idea. An eccentric Englishman named Phileas Fogg is challenged by his colleagues at a London club and embarks on a suspenseful adventure. He is accompanied by the bumbling Passepartout, which makes the plot even more entertaining. In this entirely English adaptation, the young reader will feel this struggle against time and space on every page, passing through different cultures in various parts of the world.
Cross-cutting themes: Adventure, Cultural Plurality
