| Note | As the ninetenth century wound down, a public inspired by jules Verne's novel, 'Around the world in 80 days' clamored for intrepid adventure. The challenge of circumnavigating the globe as no one ever had before attracted the fearless in drovs. This amazing graphic novel is about three adventurers who stayed the course. Thomas Stevens, who in 1884, made the journey on a bicycle - the kind wih a big front wheel. In 1889, Nellie Bly embarked on a global race against time and in 1895, Joshua Slocum quietly set sail on a 36 foot sloop, braving pirates and treacherous seas. |
