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

El flemático y solitario caballero inglés Phileas Fogg abandonará su vida de escrupulosa disciplina para cumplir con una apuesta con sus colegas del 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. Lo acompañará su recién contratado mayordomo francés, y tendrá que lidiar no sólo con los retrasos en los medios de transporte, sino con la pertinaz persecución del detective Fix, que, ignorando la verdadera identidad del caballero, se enrola en toda la aventura a la espera de una orden de arresto de la corona inglesa, en la creencia de que, antes de partir, Fogg robó el Banco de Inglaterra.

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.
