In Seven Stages A Flying Trip Around the World by Elizabeth Bisland - Elizabeth Bisland

from The Story of Doctor Dolittle - Hugh Lofting · host The Podcast Network

"In Seven Stages: A Flying Trip Around the World" by Elizabeth Bisland chronicles her remarkable journey as she races against fellow journalist Nellie Bly, who is attempting to beat the fictional 80-day journey of Phileas Fogg from Jules Verne's classic. Departing just hours after Bly on November 14, 1889, Bisland's adventure unfolds largely unnoticed by the public, overshadowed by Bly's more sensationalized coverage. This story is a testament to the spirit of exploration and the pursuit of ambition, themes that resonate today as we continue to celebrate the courage and determination of those who dare to challenge the status quo.
