Around The World in Eighty Days
10.66
Phileas Fogg is a wealthy English gentleman living a solitary life in London. Despite
his wealth, Fogg lives modestly and carries out his habits with mathematical
precision. Very little can be said about his social life other than that he is a member
of the Reform Club, where he spends the best part of his days. Having dismissed
his valet for bringing him shaving water at a temperature slightly lower than
expected, Fogg hires Frenchman Jean Passepartout as a replacement.
On the evening of 2 October 1872, while at the Reform Club, Fogg gets involved in
an argument over an article in The Daily Telegraph stating that with the opening of
a new railway section in India, it is now possible to travel around the world in 80
days. He accepts a wager for £20,000, half of his fortune, from his fellow club
members to complete such a journey within this period. With Passepartout
accompanying him, Fogg departs from London by train at 8:45 p.m. that evening;
to win the wager, he must return to the club by this same time on 21 December, 80
days later. They take the remaining £20,000 of Fogg's fortune with them to cover
expenses during the journey.
