Around The World In 80 Days- Jules Verne
The novel, written by French author Jules Verne in 1873, is widely regarded as one of the best adventure stories ever written. In late nineteenth-century England, a wealthy Phileas Fogg accepts a bet to go around the world in 80 days. The fast-paced story follows Fogg as he travels from London to Egypt, India (where he falls in love), Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan, and the United States before returning home. Fogg, aided by his obedient valet, Frenchman Jean Passepartout, transports everything from a boat to an elephant and overcomes challenges such as the Atlantic storm winds.
The Alchemist- Paul Coelho
Santiago, a teenage shepherd from the Andalusia region of Spain, dreams of a hidden treasure in Brazilian author Paulo Coelho’s inspirational book. He is then inspired to travel across the Sahara Desert to Egypt’s pyramids, where the treasure, according to his dream, is hidden. The youngster is robbed along the way, works for a crystal merchant, travels with an Englishman, falls in love with an Arabian girl, and ultimately encounters a knowledgeable alchemist who teaches him a life lesson. The allegorical settings, characters, and words throughout the book all play on the constant topic of finding one’s destiny.
The Lost City Of Z- David Grann
In this 2009 nonfiction book, American journalist David Grann attempts to retrace the steps made by British explorer Colonel Percy Fawcett on his final search for a vanished civilization known as Z deep under the Amazon rainforests. Fawcett, along with his best buddy Raleigh Rimmell and his 21-year-old son Jack, vanished on the mission in 1925. A lot of claims and ideas have surfaced as to what happened to them.
Kim- Rudyard Kipling
‘Kim’ is primarily an espionage narrative set during The Great Game, a late-nineteenth-century political tug-of-war between the Russian Empire and the United Kingdom for control of Central Asia. Kipling, on the other hand, not only succeeds in thrilling readers with the thrills of espionage but also provides a vivid depiction of life in the Indian subcontinent. He sheds light on the diverse geographies, histories, and cultures of numerous locations, as well as how traveling across them shapes the protagonist’s perspective as he matures.
