Around the World in Eighty Days

"Around the Book" — is the best works of world literature with detailed historical and everyday commentary. The comments are placed on thematic spreads with numerous interactive elements and voluminous illustrations. With the characters of this book, the impassive English gentleman Phileas Fogg and his servant Jean Passepartout, the reader will circumnavigate the globe and see what the world was like almost a century and a half ago. And although the travelers are in too much of a hurry to return to London and win the bet, Jules Verne vividly describes various countries and cities, and the comments and illustrations reveal so many fascinating details that the rapid journey becomes intriguingly interesting, and sometimes even dangerous — in a word, a real adventure! The shady gardens of Singapore and the noisy streets of San Francisco, the city of Mormons and Indian jungles, the snowy expanses of Nebraska and the wonderful Ganges valley — all of this can be studied slowly and carefully on thematic spreads, learning to distinguish a Brahmin from a Kshatriya and a wigwam from a tipi, understanding the structure of sailing ships, examining many amazing outfits, hairstyles, carts, dwellings, and temples, and comparing the route with geographic maps of the 19th century.

An unconditional children's classic, the novel is certainly included in the extracurricular reading program, and it is simply good for any school student as a collection of captivating and useful facts about the 19th century — an era of scientific discoveries, inventions, and rapid technological progress. Among books for children and gift editions for adults, this publication stands out. The voluminous and movable paper elements somewhat resemble children's pop-up books of the 20th century, but in a unique format, they look especially attractive and, together with the comments, create a feeling of complete immersion in the era.
