Around the World in Eighty Days in Easy Spanish
The Complete Novel in 58 Short Episodes for Learners
Phileas Fogg bets twenty thousand pounds that he can go around the world in eighty days, and leaves that same night. A train, a steamer, an elephant, a hurricane, a ship burned for fuel, and a clock that never stops.
Same method as the Don Quixote reader and the same level, so it is the obvious thing to read next: a different story, a different vocabulary, and the Spanish you already have. Illustrated with the wood engravings Alphonse de Neuville and Léon Benett made for the first illustrated edition, Paris, 1873.
Reading a second book at the same level, with a different setting and a different vocabulary, is what turns Spanish you have studied into Spanish you have.
