Tre anni dopo…
On the route of Verne’s Phileas Fogg, in 1889 the American journalist Nelly Bly made a tour around the world in 72 days and wrote a book, now translated into Italian by Luisa Cetti. It is almost impossible to do the same thing today, using public means of tranportation (without planes, of course), because the passenger ships on the long routes have been abolished. But with long trips by train and using a cruiser and a cargo ship, you can circle the world in around 60 days.
