Sinopsis

In "Around the World in Eighty Days: Junior Deluxe Edition," Jules Verne crafts an adventurous narrative that intertwines excitement with the spirit of exploration characteristic of the late 19th century. The story follows Phileas Fogg, an eccentric yet meticulous Englishman who wagers a fortune on the improbable task of circumnavigating the globe within eighty days. Verne'Äôs use of first-person narration, along with richly detailed descriptions and witty dialogue, lends a dynamic rhythm to the plot, while the socio-political context of the Victorian era underscores the era's fascination with science, technology, and globalization, making this work both an adventure and a commentary on the increasing interconnectedness of the world. Jules Verne, often referred to as the father of science fiction, was profoundly influenced by the technological advancements of his time, including the advent of steam travel and global communication. His passion for exploration and innovation is vividly reflected in Fogg's journey, showcasing Verne'Äôs belief in human ingenuity. Born in Nantes, France, Verne's early exposure to sea travel and literature inspired his imaginative perspectives, leading to a prolific career that challenged the boundaries of narrative and scientific possibilities. This Junior Deluxe Edition is an excellent introduction to Verne'Äôs literary prowess, presenting the tale in an accessible format for younger readers while retaining the charm of the original text. Perfect for fans of adventure and exploration, this edition not only entertains but also encourages readers to dream beyond the horizon, making it an essential addition to any literary collection.

    A detailed chronicle of the career of the late 1800s trailblazing investigative reporter, Nellie Bly. A letter to the Editor of The Pittsburgh Dispatch turned into a position of journalist with the paper. She tackled tough societal issues, unheard of from woman in those days. However, the businesses she exposed threatened to pull advertising, so she was moved to cover topics deemed more appropriate for a woman. She ultimately became a freelance journalist and later moved to New York and worked as an investigative reporter for New York World, often going undercover, or as it was called then, being a "stunt reporter". She also reported on her 72-day trip around the world. The biography details her marriage to a business tycoon, her time as President of the company and her ultimate return to journalism. Contextual side stories offer further perspective on key details, locations, and people referenced in Bly's story. Archival photographs, drawings, and paintings are chronologically arranged, adding visual context to her remarkable life and career, as well as the inclusion of further reading and website recommendations, maps, glossary, and index. Content developed for young readers, interest level grades 4-6 (reading level, grade 5).
