GUESS THE BOOK!

This is a paragraph from a great book published in 1605. Read it and try to guess which is it.

"In a village of …, the name of which I have no desire to
call to mind, there lived not long since one of those gentlemen that
keep a lance in the lance-rack, an old buckler, a lean hack, and a
greyhound for coursing. An olla of rather more beef than mutton, a
salad on most nights, scraps on Saturdays, lentils on Fridays, and a
pigeon or so extra on Sundays, made away with three-quarters of his
income. The rest of it went in a doublet of fine cloth and velvet
breeches and shoes to match for holidays, while on week-days he made a
brave figure in his best homespun. He had in his house a housekeeper
past forty, a niece under twenty, and a lad for the field and
market-place, who used to saddle the hack as well as handle the
bill-hook. The age of this gentleman of ours was bordering on fifty;
he was of a hardy habit, spare, gaunt-featured, a very early riser and
a great sportsman."

GUESS THE BOOK!

"The story begins in England. A man who regularly goes to a Club every evening gets into a conversation about if is it possible to go around the world in eighty days. He believes that it is and is challenged to complete the adventure. This is the beginning of the amazing adventures. "
