Summary: "Le tour du monde en quatre-vingts jours" by Jules Verne is a classic adventure novel written during the late 19th century. The story follows Phileas Fogg, a mysterious and methodical gentleman who embarks on a wager to circumnavigate the globe in just eighty days. This challenge arises against the backdrop of a rapidly changing world, emphasizing themes of time, progress, and adventure. The opening of the novel introduces Phileas Fogg, a member of the Reform Club in London, who is characterized by his extraordinary punctuality and regimented lifestyle. He is a peculiar figure who leads an isolated existence, relying on precision in all aspects of life. After a debate with his fellow club members about the feasibility of traveling around the world in eighty days, Fogg makes a bold wager of £20,000, setting off on the journey alongside his new servant, Passepartout. As they prepare to depart, there is a sense of excitement mixed with uncertainty, particularly for Passepartout, who is far from accustomed to such daring plans. The stage is set for an exhilarating journey filled with challenges and unexpected encounters as Fogg aims to prove that the world can indeed be traversed in record time.
