Sinopse

In "Around the World in Eighty Days," Jules Verne illustrates his fascination with both human ingenuity and the marvels of global exploration through the thrilling journey of Phileas Fogg. Written in 1872, this classic novel is celebrated for its fast-paced narrative and vivid descriptions, which effectively balance adventure with meticulous detail. Verne employs a blend of humor and suspense, inviting readers to engage deeply with the themes of time, technology, and cultural encounters, all framed within the broader context of the 19th-century industrial revolution and the burgeoning world of international travel. Jules Verne, often hailed as the father of science fiction, was a visionary author whose own experiences with travel and a keen interest in scientific advancements heavily influenced his work. His unique perspective on the relationship between humanity and progress is reflected in Fogg's determined quest to defy conventional limits. Verne's upbringing in Nantes, and his education in law and sciences, equipped him with the intellectual foundations necessary to weave together elements of imagination and reality, establishing a vivid narrative that captured the spirit of the age. Readers will find "Around the World in Eighty Days" to be a brilliant blend of adventure and wit, making it an essential read for those who appreciate the intricacies of exploration and the boundless possibilities of human ambition. This novel not only entertains but also prompts reflections on the nature of time and the interconnectedness of cultures, ensuring its place in the canon of literature.

Nowhere on the planet offers the same combination of surfing, spirituality and sun-kissed sybaritic pleasure as Bali. On the Island of the Gods, fresh ideas arrive like waves, creating a glorious cocktail of cultures and influences. A stay here might mean tropical brutalism of The Slow in Canggu or mod-Balinese bamboo pods at Ubud’s Bambu Indah. It might mean kicking back with Canggu’s clean-living nomads, Seminyak’s style-conscious surfers, or Ubud’s smart crowd, who eat at Noma-ish Locavore and roll their eyes at the mention of Eat, Pray, Love. Either way, everyone and everything is welcome.

It may be that the true home of Apollo was not at Delphi, but in that older earth-center of which Plato speaks, where he says: "Apollo's real home is among the Hyperboreans, in a land of perpetual life, where mythology tells us two doves flying from the two opposite ends of the world met in this fair region, the home of Apollo. Indeed, according to Hecataeus, Leto, the mother of Apollo, was born on an island in the Arctic Ocean far beyond the North Wind."
