Around the World in 80 Days | Publisher
> Around the World in 80 Days is an adventure novel written by the Frenchman Jules Verne in 1873. The work portrays the technological advances of those times. After all, until the second half of the 19th century, traveling around 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 that crossed territories like India and the United States, it became possible. Still, for someone to say they could achieve this feat in eighty days, overcoming all types of challenges, seemed like a madman's idea. An eccentric Englishman named Phileas Fogg is challenged by his colleagues at a London club and embarks on an adventure filled with suspense. He is accompanied by the clumsy Passepartout, which makes the plot even more entertaining. In this French adaptation, young readers 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, marked the beginning of the writer's trajectory with increasingly ambitious flights. Later came, among others, Around the World in 80 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 Code of Camões, The World Went Crazy; What a Mess!; 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 doctorate in French Language and Literature from the University of São Paulo (USP). Her work focuses on the teaching and learning of French as a foreign language and on teacher training for in-person and distance learning classes. She was president of the Association of French Teachers of the State of São Paulo and in 2013 was honored by the French government with the Ordre de Chevalier des Palmes Académiques.
> ILLUSTRATOR: Danilo Tanaka was born in São Paulo and holds a degree in Advertising and Propaganda. Gifted with various styles of drawing and painting, he won his first award at the age of 13 and has not stopped since. In 2017, he won the ABF+RDI Design Packaging Design Award.
