{PDF EPUB} Around the World in 80 Days by Rod Espinosa Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Around the World in 80 Days by Rod Espinosa Review of the Novel 'Around the World in 80 Days' Jules Verne's Around the World in Eighty Days is a rip-roaring adventure story set primarily in Victorian England but spans the world following its protagonist Phileas Fogg. Written with a cosmopolitan and open view of the world, Around the World in Eighty Days is a brilliant tale. Vivid in its descriptions, Fogg, a cold, brittle man, who slowly shows that he does have the heart of an Englishman. The book wonderfully captures a spirit of adventure that was bubbling around the turn of the century and is impossible to put down. The Main Plot. The story begins in London where the reader is introduced to an incredibly precise and controlled man by the name of Fogg. Fogg lives happily, although a little mysteriously, for no-one knows the true origin of his wealth. He goes to his gentleman's club every day, and it is there that he accepts a wager to travel around the world in eighty days. He packs his things and, along with his manservant, Passepartout he sets out on his journey. Early on in his voyage, a police inspector begins to trail him, believing Fogg is a bank robber. After a reasonably uneventful start, difficulties emerge in India when Fogg realities that a train line he was hoping to take has not been finished. He decides to takes an elephant instead. This diversion is fortunate in one way, for Fogg meets and saves an Indian woman from a forced marriage. On his journey, Fogg will fall in love with Aouda and, on his return to England will make her his wife. In the interim, however, Fogg faces a number of challenges, including losing Passepartout to a Yokohama circus and being attacked by Native Americans in the Midwest. During this incident, Fogg shows his humanity by going off personally to save his manservant, despite the fact that this could well cost him his bet. Finally, Fogg manages to get back onto British soil (albeit by leading a mutiny aboard a French steamer) and seemingly in enough time to win his bet. At this point, the police inspector arrests him, delaying him just long enough to lose the bet. He returns home saddened by his failure, but brightened by the fact that Aouda has agreed to marry him. When Passepartout is sent to arrange the wedding, he realizes that it is a day earlier than they think (by traveling East across the International date line they have gained a day), and so Fogg wins his bet. The Human Spirit of Adventure. Unlike many of his more science-based fiction stories, Jules Verne's Around the World in Eighty Days is interested in the capabilities of technology in his own time. The things that human beings can achieve armed only with a sense of adventure and an exploratory spirit. It is also a brilliant dissection of what it is to be English in the time of empire. Fogg is a brilliantly drawn character, a man who is stiff-upper-lipped and precise in all his habits. However, as the novel goes on the icy man begins to thaw. He begins to place the importance of friendship and love above his usual concerns of reserve and punctuality. In the end, he is willing to lose his bet to help a friend. He doesn’t care about defeat because he has won the hand of the woman he loves. Although some would argue it doesn't have the great literary merit of some novels written around the same time, Around the World in Eighty Days certainly makes up for it with its vivid descriptions. The undoubtedly a classic story is peopled with characters who will be long remembered. It is a breathtaking roller-coaster ride around the world and a touching view of an older time. Filled with the thrill of adventure, Around the World in Eighty Days is a wonderful story, written with skill and no short order of panache. Devyn Reynolds LIBR271A Blog. In a smoky room, filled with card players discussing a recent robbery, Phileas Fogg states to his friends that “one can travel ten times faster now than a century ago. That will result in the rapid capture of the thief”. Skeptical of Fogg’s assertions, he sets off to prove his friends wrong and travel the world in eighty days. The text and illustrations are rendered in comic book fashion in what appear to be watercolor, ink and photographs. The period looking illustrations will transport readers to another era and to the many exotic places traveled by Fogg. This is an entertaining and fun introduction to Jules Verne’s literary classic, Around the World in 80 Days .

    Name: Jan Dreau Ganggangan Pen name: Ashrock West Nicknames: Jadee, Racyash Birthday: August 10, 1990 Location: Naguilian, La Union Current occupation: Software Engineer Personal Description: I am a self-proclaimed mangaka since I was 2nd year high school. I am fond of ba ttle manga since I was exposed to this genre at that time. Most of the manga titles that I handle a re into the battle manga themes. These include the on-going "Banishers", and "Rip-Off, the Mangaka Wars." My drawing style is a mix of the western action comics style and the Japanese ma nga style. I tend to mix both styles to come up with a style I am most comfortable with. I also ha ve a cartoon style that's very much similar to the usual Cartoon Network staples of the 90's (the n ew style sucks, srsly). My art preference is a mix of traditional and digital tools; but most of the tim e I do trad. (It sucks to do digital art when there is a power outage, ain't it?). I am not into colori ng since I don't know how to do colors properly; another is I am blind into color values (sorry midtones, highlights, and shadows). I got first introduced into the world of manga by my coach in an Earth Science c ompetition, Teodore A. Saclangan. I found out that we share a common interest and since then we started coming up with a story that we can turn into a fullfledged manga. And thus, Banishers was kickstarted.
