    <![CDATA[  Jules Verne’s career as a novelist began in 1863, when he struck a new vein in   fiction—stories that combined popular science and exploration. In <em>Around the   World in Eighty Days</em>, Phileas Fogg rashly bets his companions £20,000 that   he can travel around the entire globe in just eighty days—and he is determined   not to lose. Breaking the well-established routine of his daily life, the   reserved Englishman immediately sets off for Dover, accompanied by his hot-  blooded French manservant, Passepartout. Traveling by train, steamship,   sailboat, sledge, and even elephant, they must overcome storms, kidnappings,   natural disasters, Sioux attacks, and the dogged Inspector Fix of Scotland Yard   to win the extraordinary wager. Combining exploration, adventure, and a   thrilling race against time, <em>Around the World in Eighty Days</em> gripped   audiences upon its publication and remains hugely popular to this day.]]>

    <![CDATA[Shocking his stodgy colleagues at the exclusive Reform Club, enigmatic Englishman Phileas Fogg wagers his fortune, undertaking an extraordinary and daring enterprise: to circumnavigate the globe in eighty days. With his French valet Passepartout in tow, Verne&#8217;s hero traverses the far reaches of the earth, all the while tracked by the intrepid Detective Fix, a bounty hunter certain he is on the trail of a notorious bank robber. Set from the text of George M. Towle&#8217;s original 1873 translation, this Modern Library Paperback Classic of Verne&#8217;s adventure novel comes vividly alive, brilliantly re&#64258;ecting on time, space, and one man&#8217;s struggle to reach beyond the bounds of both science and society.]]>

    <![CDATA[  Jules Verne’s career as a novelist began in 1863, when he struck a new vein in   fiction—stories that combined popular science and exploration. In <em>Around the   World in Eighty Days</em>, Phileas Fogg rashly bets his companions £20,000 that   he can travel around the entire globe in just eighty days—and he is determined   not to lose. Breaking the well-established routine of his daily life, the   reserved Englishman immediately sets off for Dover, accompanied by his hot-  blooded French manservant, Passepartout. Traveling by train, steamship,   sailboat, sledge, and even elephant, they must overcome storms, kidnappings,   natural disasters, Sioux attacks, and the dogged Inspector Fix of Scotland Yard   to win the extraordinary wager. Combining exploration, adventure, and a   thrilling race against time, <em>Around the World in Eighty Days</em> gripped   audiences upon its publication and remains hugely popular to this day.]]>

    <![CDATA[Around the World in Eighty Days (1873) relates the hair-raising journey made as a wager by the Victorian gentleman Phileas Fogg, who succeeds - but only just! - in circling the globe within eighty days. The dour Fogg's obsession with his timetable is complemented by the dynamism and versatility of his French manservant, Passepartout, whose talent for getting into scrapes brings colour and suspense to the race against time.    Five Weeks in a Balloon (1863) was Verne's first novel. It documents an apocryphal jaunt across the continent of Africa in a hydrogen balloon designed by the omniscient, imperturbable and ever capable Dr Fergusson, the prototype of the Vernian adventurer.]]>

    <![CDATA[Ingar-bingar dan ketakjuban menyambut penerbitan buku ini pada tahun 1873, dan kini tetap merupakan novel Jules Verne yang paling sukses.<br/>Cerita bermula di London, Oktober 1872. Seorang pria lajang kaya raya bernama Phileas Fogg menerima tantangan dari teman-temannya di Reform Club untuk mengelilingi dunia dalam tempo 80 hari saja. Fogg menerima tantangan dengan taruhan 20.000 pound sterling itu. Ditemani oleh pelayan barunya dari Perancis, Passepartout, dia menjelajahi rute London, Terusan Suez, Bombay, Calcutta, Hongkong, Yokohama, San Francisco, New York, dan kembali ke kota asal.<br/><br/>Perjalanan Fogg dan Passepartout tidaklah berlangsung mulus. Dari Mesir, mereka selalu dibuntuti detektif Scotland Yard bernama Mr. Fix. Alasannya, Fogg mirip dengan sketsa wajah tersangka perampokan di London. Sang detektif pun berkawan akrab dengan Passepartout guna memuluskan langkahnya mencokok Fogg.<br/><br/>Di tengah usaha menghindari kejaran detektif Fix, Fog dan Passepartout harus mengatasi berbagai kesialan dalam petualangan yang liar. Di antaranya, menyelamatkan seorang maharani India yang cantik dari jilatan api pembakaran jenazah dan ditinggal kapal uap menuju Yokohama. Batas waktu 80 hari semakin mendekat, sedangkan masih ada setengah lingkaran Bumi yang harus diarungi. Dengan memanfaatkan nyaris setiap sarana transportasi yang dikenal pada tahun 1870-an—kapal uap, kereta api, gajah, dan balon udara—perjalanan itu ditempuh sesuai dengan waktu yang ditentukan, 80 hari tepat!<br/><br/>Buku ini membuat orang-orang terpesona pada kemajuan ilmiah—dan racikan yang memikat antara fantasi, komedi, dan ketegangan yang mencekam menjadikan cerita ini sangat menarik. Karya abadi ini sempat dua kali diangkat ke layar lebar, dijadikan serial pendek di televisi, bahkan sampai dijadikan permainan animasi (video game).<br/>]]>

    <![CDATA[  Jules Verne’s career as a novelist began in 1863, when he struck a new vein in   fiction—stories that combined popular science and exploration. In <em>Around the   World in Eighty Days</em>, Phileas Fogg rashly bets his companions £20,000 that   he can travel around the entire globe in just eighty days—and he is determined   not to lose. Breaking the well-established routine of his daily life, the   reserved Englishman immediately sets off for Dover, accompanied by his hot-  blooded French manservant, Passepartout. Traveling by train, steamship,   sailboat, sledge, and even elephant, they must overcome storms, kidnappings,   natural disasters, Sioux attacks, and the dogged Inspector Fix of Scotland Yard   to win the extraordinary wager. Combining exploration, adventure, and a   thrilling race against time, <em>Around the World in Eighty Days</em> gripped   audiences upon its publication and remains hugely popular to this day.]]>

    <![CDATA[Jules Verne Great excitement and awe greeted its publication in 1873, and today Around the World in Eighty Days remains Jules Verne&#8217;s most successful novel. A daring wager by the eccentric and mysterious Englishman Phileas Fogg that he can circle the globe in just eighty days initiates this marvelous travelogue and exciting suspense story. Together with his manservant, Passepartout, Fogg makes a breathless world tour, overcoming wild misadventures and finding time to rescue a beautiful Indian maharani from a burning funeral pyre&#8212;all the while restlessly pursued by a bumbling detective called Mr. Fix. Realistically utilizing nearly every means of transportation known in the 1870s, <em>Around the World in Eighty Days</em> generated enchantment with scientific progress&#8212;and its delightful mixture of fantasy, comedy, and dazzling suspense has kept it a perennially superb entertainment.]]>

    <![CDATA[ Jules Verne's career as a novelist began in 1863, when he struck a new vein in  fiction-stories that combined popular science and exploration. In <em>Around the  World in Eighty Days</em>, Phileas Fogg rashly bets his companions £20,000 that  he can travel around the entire globe in just eighty days, and he is determined  not to lose. Breaking the well-established routine of his daily life, the  reserved Englishman immediately sets off for Dover, accompanied by his hot-blooded French manservant, Passepartout. Traveling by train, steamship,  sailboat, sledge, and even elephant, they must overcome storms, kidnappings,  natural disasters, Sioux attacks, and the dogged Inspector Fix of Scotland Yard to win the extraordinary wager. Combining exploration, adventure, and a  thrilling race against time, <em>Around the World in Eighty Days</em> gripped  audiences upon its publication and remains hugely popular to this day.]]>
