Hi!
I decided to write about the new book we've started reading, Arround the World in Eighty Days, written by Jules Verne. First, I'm going to tell you about the story, and then about it's author.(image)
This book is about Phileas Fogg, a gentelman who lives in London in 1872. He makes a bet with his friends that he can travel around the world in eighty days. He travels arround Europe, Africa, Asia and America. Meanwhile a detective is following him to arrest him, because he thinks Fogg has robbed some money from a bank.
Jules Verne (1828-1905) is a French writer whose best known books are Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea and Around the World in Eighty Days. He was born in Nantes, France. When he was a kid he ran away to join a merchant ship, but he was cought and returned to his parents. He was sent to study law in Paris, but he stopped and started writing. When his parents got to know this, they stopped giving him the money to study and he had to sell his stories to make some . He wrote many stories and became rich. Jules Verne died in Amines in 1905.
A film has been made from this book, starring Chacki Chan. (image)

We thought that around the world in eighty days is an interested book that can share you an extraodinary adventure that a gentleman do. We read it in primary school at 4 or 5 form, we don't remember exactly.
We wish that you can learn more things reading it.
