Literature: Jules Verne's AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS (1873)
🌏 Imagine being an Englishman during the Industrial Revolution, and wealthy enough to decide on a sudden impulse to circumnavigate the globe in 80 days, just to make a point to your friends at the gentleman club. As obnoxious as the initial plot may seem, it gave Jules Verne a formidable pretext to make our imagination travel to France, Italy, Egypt, India, China, Japan and the United States, all in one tiny book (still about 250 pages, though). Highly recommended book! in French obviously. Meanwhile, there are numerous film adaptations such as the classic 1956 version with David Niven (in US: https://amzn.to/3BHE6d4 - in UK: https://amzn.to/42QgNd8) or the 2004 version with Jackie Chan (in US: https://amzn.to/43eWZjz - in UK: https://amzn.to/437PHOn). (Subtitles are available in French and English by clicking on the CC button on the YouTube control bar). Join this week's conversation on https://www.frenchconversationgroup.com
