this is a classic which everyone knows in one way or another, even if most people probably haven't read the original.
the story is simple: a man bets that he can travel around the world within 80 days and then finds himself in the difficult position of having to follow up on this word. the story is humorous at times and gives some interesting insights into travelling in remote areas at that point of history (though of course, things cannot always be taken at face value).
the book itself is good, though sometimes you might wish for more action and for the story to go a bit deeper.

Ho letto questo libro per la prima volta da bambina e mi ha fatto sognare di viaggiare in posti lontani e avventurosi. Il protagonista, Phileas Fogg, è un signore inglese che scommette di fare il giro del mondo in 80 giorni, accompagnato dal suo fedele cameriere Passepartout. Lungo il percorso, i due incontrano molte difficoltà, ostacoli, nemici e anche amici. Il libro è scritto con uno stile semplice ma coinvolgente, ricco di dettagli e descrizioni dei luoghi visitati. Si nota la grande fantasia e la curiosità di Verne per le culture diverse dalla sua. Il ritmo è serrato e non ci si annoia mai, anche se alcune situazioni sono un po’ improbabili. Il finale è sorprendente e divertente, con un colpo di scena che fa cambiare le sorti della scommessa. Il messaggio che il libro trasmette è che nulla è impossibile se si ha coraggio, determinazione e un pizzico di fortuna. Il giro del mondo in 80 giorni è un classico della letteratura d’avventura che consiglio a tutti, grandi e piccini, per trascorrere qualche ora in compagnia di personaggi indimenticabili e di un viaggio fantastico.
