On that occasion, in fact, the writer embarked on the cruise ship "Auguste Victoria" in order to turn a book (Jules Verne's Around the World into Eighty Days) into reality. Nellie , who made the trip to a tabloid magazine (the New York World), describes each event in a precise and compelling way, putting together autobiographical elements along with fantasy facts. |
