Fakta

In "Around the World in Seventy-Two Days," Nellie Bly chronicles her audacious journey to circumnavigate the globe in a mere 72 days, challenging the then-prevailing stereotype of women in travel and journalism. Bly's narrative is imbued with a conversational style, vibrant observations, and a keen, often humorous eye for detail. As an early example of immersive journalism, her work not only captures the spirit of adventure but also serves as a critique of social norms in the late 19th century—a time when women were largely dismissed in the public sphere. Her account is enriched by lively anecdotes and captivating encounters, illustrating the cultural and political landscapes she traversed. Nellie Bly, born Elizabeth Cochran in 1864, was a pioneering journalist known for her fearless investigative reporting and innovative storytelling. Her background in journalism, combined with her profound curiosity and determination, led her to embark on this remarkable journey inspired by Jules Verne's fictional work. Bly's experiences as a female reporter in a male-dominated field fueled her desire to push boundaries and challenge societal expectations, thereby laying the groundwork for future generations of women in media. "Around the World in Seventy-Two Days" is a must-read for anyone interested in feminist literature, travel writing, or the evolution of journalism. Bly's daring exploits resonate with the modern reader, offering insights not only into her time but also into the enduring spirit of adventure and resilience. This compelling narrative will inspire readers to explore the world with curiosity and boldness.
