| Summary | "Le Tour du monde en quatre-vingts jours" by Jules Verne is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Phileas Fogg, an enigmatic and methodical English gentleman, who makes a daring wager that he can circumnavigate the globe in just 80 days. Accompanied by his new French servant, Passepartout, the narrative unfolds in a thrilling adventure that pits determination against the impossible. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Phileas Fogg, a man of precise habits and routines who thrives on punctuality and order. After a discussion at the Reform-Club about travel times around the world, Fogg accepts a bet from his fellow club members that he can accomplish the journey in the allotted time. He departs London with Passepartout, a new servant with an interesting past, just minutes after deciding on this audacious venture. This opening sets the stage for an exciting journey fraught with challenges, including unexpected delays and the looming presence of a detective who suspects Fogg of a bank robbery, suggesting a complex plot intertwined with adventure and suspense.
