In the story, Phileas Fogg of London and his newly employed French valet Passepartout attempt to circumnavigate the world in 80 days on a £20,000 wager (£2,242,900 in 2019) set by his friends at the Reform Club. It is one of Verne's most acclaimed works.

AROUND THE WORLD IN EIGHTY DAYS (FRENCH: LE TOUR DU MONDE EN QUATRE-VINGTS JOURS) IS A CLASSIC ADVENTURE NOVEL BY THE FRENCH WRITER JULES VERNE, PUBLISHED IN 1873.
  • In the story, Phileas Fogg of London and his newly employed French valet Passepartout attempt to circumnavigate the world in 80 days on a £20,000 wager (roughly £1.6 million today) set by his friends at the Reform Club. It is one of Verne's most acclaimed works. The story starts in London on Tuesday, October 1, 1872.
  • Fogg is a rich English gentleman living in solitude. Despite his wealth, Fogg lives a modest life with habits carried out with mathematical precision. Very little can be said about his social life other than that he is a member of the Reform Club. Having dismissed his former valet, James Foster, for bringing him shaving water at 84 °F (29 °C) instead of 86 °F (30 °C), Fogg hires a Frenchman by the name of Jean Passepartout as a replacement. 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 (equal to about £1.6 million today)

About the Author: Jules Gabriel Verne (1828 - 1905) was a French novelist, poet, and playwright. Verne was born in the seaport of Nantes, where he was trained to follow in his father's footsteps as a lawyer, but quit the profession early in life to write for magazines and the stage. His collaboration with the publisher Pierre-Jules Hetzel led to the creation of the Voyages extraordinaires, a widely popular series of scrupulously researched adventure novels including Journey to the Center of the Earth (1864), Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea (1870), and Around the World in Eighty Days (1873). Verne is generally considered a major literary author in France and most of Europe, where he has had a wide influence on the literary avant-garde and on surrealism. His reputation is markedly different in Anglophone regions, where he has often been labeled a writer of genre fiction or children's books, largely because of the highly abridged and altered translations in which his novels are often reprinted. Verne's "Extraordinary Voyages" available in English (47 novels) are (in the chronological order of their original publication): - Five Weeks in a Balloon - The Adventures of Captain Hatteras - Journey to the Center of the Earth - From the Earth to the Moon - In Search of the Castaways - Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea - Around The Moon - A Floating City - The Adventures of Three Englishmen and Three Russians in South Africa - The Fur Country - Around the World in Eighty Days - The Mysterious Island - The Survivors of the Chancellor - Michael Strogoff - Hector Servadac - The Underground City - Dick Sand, A Captain at Fifteen - The Five Hundred Millions of the Begum - Tribulations of a Chinaman in China - The Steam House - Eight Hundred Leagues on the Amazon - Godfrey Morgan - The Green Ray - Kéraban the Inflexible - The Star of the South - The Archipelago on Fire - Mathias Sandorf - The Lottery Ticket - Robur the Conqueror - North Against South - The Flight to France - Two Years' Vacation - Family Without a Name - The Purchase of the North Pole - Caesar Cascabel - Mistress Branican - The Castle of the Carpathians - Claudius Bombarnac - Foundling Mick - Captain Antifer - Floating Island - Facing the Flag - Clovis Dardentor - An Antarctic Mystery - The Will of an Eccentric - The Master of the World - The Chase of the Golden Meteor
