Is there still adventure to be found in this world?
'Around The World In 80 Days' by Jules Verne is an adventure novel of a gentleman trying to win a bet. Phileas Fogg along with his manservant Passepartout attempt to circumnavigate the world by train, boat and any transport available in order to collect a £20,000 wager. Along the way they encounter mishaps & danger caused by self inflicted decisions and external circumstances.
I summarised the book as follows. "Sometimes a book can just enthrall you .... this wasn't one of those times. There's not anything wrong with the book but I can't recall any compelling moments perse. Technically it's well written but I prefer other fictional books like 'Lost Horizon' which have deeper themes that I can learn from."
I hope you have a fantastic day wherever you are in the world. Kyrin out!
