GREAT TRIPS: AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS

Julio Verne wrote the book "Around the World in 80 days". The imaginary journey started on the 2nd of October, 1882.


The main character is Phileas Fogg. Phileas Fogg was a English gentleman. He travelled by hot-air balloon, boat, elephant, sleigh... He used all the types of transport that were available at the nineteenth century.

Mister Fogg started this trip because of a bet against his friends: he bet half of his money. He went to China, Africa, Russia, Argentina, Spain...
He finally won his bet.

  1. Julio Verne escribió muchísimo sobre viajes: La vuelta al mundo en 80 días, Viaje a la luna, Viaje al centro de la tierra, 20.000 leguas de viaje submarino, Los hijos del Capitán Grant,...
    Son todos estupendos, pero el último que os pongo, me gusta de manera especial. Os lo recomiendo.
