The story will surely be as exciting for the reader as was the journey around the world for Phileas Fogg, the one who actually goes around the world in 80 days. The plot begins with the affluent lifestyle of Fogg who lives his life by the clock and mingles with his wealthy acquaintances as he dines every day at the Reform Club social organization. The men place a random bet that it would be impossible for anyone to journey around the world in 80 days, to which Fogg takes it head one and says that he can definitely do it. Once the wager has been settled, Fogg, for the stickler for time that he has, does not lose a second and rushes home to pack and takes along his servant on the voyage around the world. The story is about the series of adventure that he comes across during the course of the journey whether he is finally able to make it or not.
Autorenporträt
Jules Gabriel Verne (1828 - 1905) was a French novelist, poet and playwright best known for his adventure novels and his profound influence on the literary genre of science fiction. Verne was born to bourgeois parents 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).
