肖娅 八十天环游世界 充满绅士风格的环球行走
The novel seems to begin easily, with a bet between Mr. Fogg and his friend. But when you follow this typical gentleman of 19th century along his world-wide travel, you’ll get to know that neither fickleness nor flippancy has anything to do with him. He always says things have been predicated and they won’t affect his plan no matter he is under a warrant or the train delays. He believes there must be another way to his destination. It seems that no external factor can ever bother him, but he keeps his warm heart from beginning to end, which is the very attractive point of the gentleman in this entire story.
It’s reasonable that Verne’s books can stand out from nineteenth-century literature, Around The World in 80 Days just right shows its distinctive value with being a dramatic success among numerous romantic literary work, providing us with a sense that is different from Lamartine’s pessimism and hopelessness in his Nouvelles Meditations. The book leads us to have a taste of cultural customs throughout the world, and meanwhile, satirizes the backward culture – Indian martyrdom, and expresses detestation towards widespread opium and sympathy to Eastern people, which makes it part of a minority of western literature using a lot of words for describing the Eastern world. In the whole story, Verne shapes a pretty true and full figure of Mr. Fogg appearing in front of our eyes. “I blame no one”, said Mr. Fogg with perfect calmness. That is just the real gentleman which Verne wants to show us. A gentleman is not a weak conservative who is liable to complain about life, but an active passionate person who has dreams filling his heart and rejects degeneration. You can not only acquire a picture of the world in 19th century, but also see a man’s travel for redemption, not redemption for himself, but the world. He gets nothing but happiness after everything.
He is exactitude personified, but full of enthusiasm at the same time.
