EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving from Jules Verne's timeless novel "Around the World in Eighty Days" we witness a thrilling moment of action and confrontation. The scene depicts the protagonist, Jean Passepartout, engaged in a fierce brawl with two adversaries during his daring journey across the globe. With great intensity and skill, Passepartout delivers powerful punches that knock down his opponents, showcasing his resilience and determination. As an adventurous traveller hailing from France, he finds himself entangled in unexpected conflicts while exploring foreign lands. Set against the backdrop of a magnificent temple in India, this 19th-century illustration beautifully captures the clash between cultures and characters. The vivid details bring to life Verne's imaginative world as readers are transported into an era where travel was both arduous and exhilarating. Through this print, we glimpse into Passepartout's relentless fight against adversity as he battles not only physical opponents but also internal conflicts on his quest to circumnavigate the globe within eighty days. This iconic image serves as a testament to human strength and perseverance amidst challenging circumstances. As we admire this remarkable piece of literature-inspired art by Louis Dumont, it reminds us of the enduring appeal of Jules Verne's work and its ability to transport us on thrilling adventures through time and space.
