Le tour du monde in 80 days | Publisher
Around the World in Eighty 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, someone saying 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 an adventure full of suspense. He is accompanied by the bumbling Passepartout, which makes the plot even more entertaining. In this French adaptation, the young reader will feel on every page this struggle against time and space, passing through different cultures in various parts of the world.
> WRITER: Jules Verne was born in France in 1828. His first novel, Five Weeks in a Balloon, launched him on a path of ever-greater success. Later came, among others, Around the World in Eighty Days, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, Journey to the Center of the Earth, From the Earth to the Moon, and The Mysterious Island.
ADAPTER: Beto Junqueyra is from São Paulo and has been writing short stories since he was 9 years old. Among his children's and young adult titles, highlights include The Camões Code, The World Went Crazy; It Got Dirty!; A Light on Dark Island; Ecopirates in Fernando de Noronha and He Who Has a Mouth Goes to Timor. His work Living Better won the Jabuti Prize in 2000.
> FRENCH VERSION: Heloísa Albuquerque-Costa holds a PhD in French Language and Literature from the University of São Paulo (USP). Her work focuses on teaching and learning French as a foreign language and on training teachers for face-to-face and distance learning classes. She was president of the Association of French Teachers of the State of São Paulo and in 2013 was awarded the Order of Chevalier des Palmes Académiques by the French government.
ILLUSTRATOR: Danilo Tanaka was born in São Paulo and has a degree in Advertising and Marketing. Gifted with various drawing and painting styles, he won his first award at age 13 and hasn't stopped since. In 2017, he won the ABF+ RDI Design Packaging Design Award.
