Summary "Around the World in Eighty Days" by Jules Verne is a classic adventure novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around the meticulous and enigmatic Phileas Fogg, who makes a wager that he can travel around the world in just eighty days, accompanied by his new servant, Passepartout. The narrative explores themes of punctuality, the clash between routine and unpredictability, and the spirit of adventure in the face of challenges. The opening of the novel introduces Phileas Fogg, an exceptionally punctual and methodical gentleman residing in London, who is known for his unyielding daily routine and enigmatic past. He meets Passepartout, a Frenchman with a varied background, who hopes to find stability in his new role as a servant. Fogg's routine is abruptly disrupted when he engages in a wager to circumnavigate the globe in eighty days, spurred on by a conversation at the Reform Club regarding the possibilities of modern transportation. The chapter sets the stage for a journey filled with unexpected challenges, as Fogg is determined to prove that such an ambitious feat is achievable, testing both his resolve and his carefully ordered life.
