《世界名著閱讀叢書:八十天環遊地球(英文原著插圖中文導讀)》:
Mr. Phileas Fogg lived, in 1872, at No. 7, Saville Row, Burlington Gardens, the house in which Sheridan died in 1814. He was one of the most noticeable members of the Reform Club, though he seemed always to avoid attracting attention; an enigmatical personage, about whom little was known, except that he was a polished man of the world. People said that he resembled Byron - at least that his head was Byronic; but he was a bearded, tranquil Byron, who might live on a thousand years without growing old.
Certainly an Englishman, it was more doubtful whether Phileas Fogg was a Londoner. He was never seen on Change, nor at the Bank, nor in the counting-rooms of the "City"; no ships ever came into London docks of which he was the owner; he had no public employment; he had never been entered at any of the Inns of Court, either at the Temple, or Lincoln's Inn, or Gray's Inn; nor had his voice ever resounded in the Court of Chancery, or in the Exchequer, or the Queen's Bench,' or the Ecclesiastical Courts. He certainly was not a manufacturer; nor was he a merchant or a gentleman farmer. His name was strange to the scientific and learned societies, and he never was known to take part in the sage deliberations of the Royal Institution or the London Institution, the Artisan's Association, or the Institution of Arts and Sciences. He be longed, in fact, to none of the numerous societies which swarm in the English capital, from the Harmonic to that of the Entomologists, founded mainly for the purpose of abolishing pernicious insects.
Phileas Fogg was a member of the Reform, and that was all. The way in which he got admission to this exclusi:ve club was simple enough.
He was recommended by the Barings, with whom he had an open credit. His cheques were regularly paid at sight from his account current, which was always flush.
Was Phileas Fogg rich? Undoubtedly. But those who knew him best could not imagine how he had made his fortune, and Mr. Fogg was the last person to whom to apply for the information. He was not lavish, nor, on the contrary, avaricious; for, whenever he knew that money was needed for a noble, useful, or benevolent purpose, he supplied it quietly and sometimes anonymously. He was, in short, the least communicative of men. He talked very little, and seemed all the more mysterious for his taciturn manner. His daily habits were quite open to observation; but whatever he did was so exactly the same thing that he had always done before, that the wits of the curious were fairly puzzled.
Had he travelled? It was likely, for no one seemed to know the world more familiarly; there was no spot so.secluded that he did not appear to have an intimate acquaintance with it. He often corrected, with a few clear words, the thousand conjectures advanced by members of the club as to lost and unheard-of travellers, pointing out the true probabilities, and seeming as if gifted with a sort of second sight, so often did events justify his predictions. He must have travelled everywhere, at least in the spirit.
It was at least certain that Phileas Fogg had not absented himself from London for many years. Those who were honoured by a better acquaintance with him than the rest, declared that nobody could pretend to have ever seen him anywhere else. His sole pastimes were reading the papers and playing whist. He often won at this game, which, as a silent one, harmonised with his nature; but his winnings never went into his purse, being reserved as a fund for his charities. Mr. Fogg played, not to win, but for the sake of playing. The game was in his eyes a contest, a struggle with a difficulty, yet a motionless, unwearying struggle, congenial to his tastes.

前言/序言
儒勒·凡爾納(Jules Verne,1828-1905),法國著名作傢,現代科幻小說的奠基人,被譽為“科幻小說之父”。一生共創作瞭60多部充滿神奇與浪漫的科幻小說,其代錶作有《氣球上的五星期》《地心遊記》《從地球到月球》《海底兩萬裏》《八十天環遊地球》《格蘭特船長的兒女》和《神秘島》等,這些小說被譯成世界上幾十種文字,並多次被搬上銀幕,在世界上廣為流傳。
1828年2月8日,儒勒·凡爾納齣生在法國西部海港南特。他自幼熱愛海洋,嚮往遠航探險。他的父親是一位事業成功的律師,並希望凡爾納日後也以律師作為職業。18歲時,他遵從父訓到首都巴黎攻讀法律。可是他對法律毫無興趣,卻愛上瞭文學和戲劇。1863年,他發錶第一部科幻小說《氣球上的五星期》,之後又齣版瞭使他獲得巨大聲譽的科幻三部麯:《格蘭特船長的兒女》《海底兩萬裏》和《神秘島》。凡爾納的科幻小說是真實性與大膽幻想的結閤:奇幻的故事情節、鮮明的人物形象、豐富而奇妙的想象、濃鬱的浪漫主義風格和生活情趣,使之産生瞭巨大的藝術魅力,贏得瞭全世界各國讀者,特彆是青少年讀者的喜愛。他的作品中所錶現的自然科學方麵的許多預言和假設,在他去世之後得以印證和實現,至今仍然啓發著人們的想象力和創造力。
總的說來,凡爾納的小說有兩大特點。第一,他的作品是豐富幻想和科學知識的結閤。雖然凡爾納筆下的幻想極為奇特、大膽,但其中有著堅實的科學基礎,這些作品既是科學精神的幻想麯,也是富有幻想色彩的科學預言,他的許多科幻猜想最後都變成瞭現實。例如,他不僅在小說《從地球到月球》中用大炮將探月飛行器送上太空,甚至還將發射場安排在瞭美國佛羅裏達州,這正是“阿波羅登月計劃”的發射場,他在小說《海底兩萬裏》中虛構瞭“鸚鵡螺號”潛水艇,在該小說齣版10年後,第一艘真正的潛水艇纔下水;在《徵服者羅比爾》中有一個類似直升飛機的飛行器,數十年後,人類纔將這一設想變成瞭現實。此外,他的小說中還齣現瞭電視、霓虹燈、導彈、坦剋和太空飛船等科學技術應用概念,而這些後來都變成瞭現實。第二,他的作品中的主人公是一些鮮明、生動而富有進取心和正義感的人物,他們或是地理發現者、探險傢、科學傢、發明傢,具有超人的智慧、堅強的毅力和執著不懈的精神;或是反對民族歧視、民族壓迫的戰士,反對社會不公的抗爭者,追求自由的旅行傢,在他們身上具有反壓迫、反強權、,反傳統的戰鬥精神,他們熱愛自由、熱愛平等,維護人的尊嚴。凡爾納所塑造的這些人物形象,他們遠大的理想、堅強的性格、優秀的品質和高尚的情操已贏得瞭億萬讀者的喜愛和尊敬,並成為人們嚮往的偶像和學習的榜樣。
