Synopsis "La vuelta al mundo en 80 dias (Spanish Edition) (in Spanish)"

La vuelta al mundo en ochenta días es una novela de Julio Verne que cuenta las peripecias del inglés Phileas Fogg y de su ayudante Picaporte, uno de los relatos más cautivantes producidos por la imaginación humana, y una de las joyas de la literatura de todas las épocas. El flemático y solitario caballero inglés Phileas Fogg abandonará su vida de escrupulosa disciplina para cumplir con una apuesta con sus colegas del Club Reformista (Reform Club), en la que arriesgará la mitad de su fortuna comprometiéndose a dar la vuelta al mundo en sólo ochenta días usando los medios disponibles en la segunda mitad del siglo XIX y siguiendo el proyecto publicado en el "Morning Chronicle", su diario de lectura cotidiana.

Jules Verne was a prolific French author who is considered one of the fathers of science fiction, alongside the English H. G. Wells. He began by writing some theatrical plays and published several short stories and scientific articles. His ambition was to write a new type of novel, one that combined adventure with scientific facts. That dream was fulfilled with Five Weeks in a Balloon, the first of his great novels. Verne was always very interested in the scientific novelties of his time. From that passion, seminal works of science fiction such as Journey to the Center of the Earth, Around the Moon, and Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea were born. Verne's influence goes beyond literature, as he has inspired several generations of people who have dedicated themselves to science.
