Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Around the World in Seventy-Two Days is journalist Nellie Bly's account of her Real Life trip around the world, taking place from November 14, 1889 to January 25, 1890.Bly (the pen name of Elizabeth Jane Cochran) was one of the most notable journalists of her day, an Intrepid Reporter who became world-famous despite being a woman in the Victorian era. In 1887 she published a landmark insider expose of insane asylums, Ten Days in a Mad-House. Her next idea, which she hit upon in 1888, was to attempt to recreate the fictional Phileas Fogg's journey as described by Jules Verne in Around the World in 80 Days. Bly received some initial resistance from her editor, who believed that such a journey would be too stressful for a woman, but a year later she got the green light and headed east.Bly traveled almost exclusively by steamship, except for a train journey from Boulougne to Brindisi and the home stretch across the United States, eschewing Phileas Fogg's journey across India in favor of a route through Ceylon. She made a special detour to interview Jules Verne at his home in France. Bly landed in San Francisco two days behind schedule but a special train sent by her publisher, Joseph Pulitzer, allowed her to reach New York with a week to spare. Bly's dispatches from her route were huge news and her memoir of the journey became a best-seller and even inspired a board game. It remains a landmark of early travel literature.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Comes with a big heaping dose of Values Dissonance, especially in the parts where Bly describes her negative impression of Chinese people. Almost certainly the Trope Maker for Defictionalization. | |

Decapitation Presentation | |
| Around the World in Seventy-Two Days / int_21bf4878 | comment |
Decapitation Presentation: In Canton a guide is telling Bly about all the executions that the local government carries out. She is skeptical, so he pulls a severed head out of a barrrel. | |

"Eureka!" Moment | |
| Around the World in Seventy-Two Days / int_d129e13e | comment |
"Eureka!" Moment: As Bly describes it, she was racking her brain trying to figure out an idea for an assignment, lying awake in her bed at 3 a.m., when she thought "I wish I was at the other end of the earth!" Then the idea hit her. | |

| Around the World in Seventy-Two Days / int_e796ce97 | comment |
Blackface: A reminder that this is a thing that people really did once, as Bly describes sailing down the Red Sea and being entertained by some of the other passengers putting on a minstrel show, "blackened faces streaked with perspiration." | |

Chinese Launderer: Bly praises "what Orientals can do in the washing line," and notes that six hours is enough for one to get a load of laundry back. | |
