内容简介《儒勒·凡尔纳小说作品选集》精选了法国科幻小说作家儒勒·凡尔纳的两部经典之作,其中《八十天环游地球》是凡尔纳最著名的小说之一,也是世界科幻小说的经典之作,笔调生动活泼,富有幽默感。小说叙述了英国人福格先生因和朋友打赌,而在八十天克服重重困难完成环游地球一周的壮举。书中不仅详细描写了福格先生一行在途中的种种离奇经历和他们所遇到的千难万险,而且还在情节的展开中使人物的性格逐渐立体化。沉默寡言、机智、勇敢、充满人道精神的福格,活泼好动易冲动的仆人等等。作品发表后,引起了轰动,多次再版。1874年由作者本人改编成剧本后,同样受到广泛欢迎。

the steamers one hundred and thirtyeight hours in which to

the engineer, seemed likely, so rapid was her speed, to reach her
destination considerably within that time. The greater part of the
passengers from Brindisi were bound for India——some for Bombay,
others for Calcutta by way of Bombay, the nearest route thither,
now that a railway crosses the Indian peninsula.Among the
passengers was a number of officials and military officers of
various grades, the latter being either attached to the regular
British forces, or commanding the Sepoy troops and receiving high
salaries ever since the central government has assumed the powers
of the East India Company; for the sublieutenants get 280,
brigadiers, 2400, and generals of division, 4000/. What with the
