Reise um die Erde in 80 Tagen

by Jules Verne

Overview

In einem berühmtesten Werk 'Reise um die Erde in achtzig Tagen' erzählt Jules Verne die Geschichte des englischen Gentleman Phileas Fogg, der mit seinen Freunden um sein halbes Vermögen wettet, das eine Reise um die Welt in 80 Tagen möglich sei. Jules Vernes' Roman basiert auf einer wahren Geschichte; der Amerikaner George Train hatte 1870, zwei Jahre bevor der Roman entstand, tatsächlich die Welt in 80 Tagen umrundet. Aufgrund seiner Kenntnisse der damaligen Technikentwicklung und ihrer Geschichte konnte Jules Verne seinen Helden um die Welt reisen lassen, wobei er, verfolgt als mutmaßlicher Bankräuber und in Begleitung seines Kammerdieners, die technischen Errungenschaften seiner Zeit kreativ zu nutzen weiß.
