ROUND THE WORLD IN

EIGHTY DAYS
CHAPTERS I -II
 HISTORY
• Around the World in Eighty Days (French: Le tour du monde en quatre-vingts jours) is
an adventure novel by the French writer Jules Verne, first published in French in 1872.
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.
 JULES VERNE
• 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 was markedly different in Anglophone regions where he had 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 have often been printed
(until the 1980s, when his "literary reputation ... began to improve").
 CHAPTER I
PHILEAS FOGG AND PASSEPARTOUR
In 1872, the Reform Club in London´s pall
mall was a club for men only. Phileas Fogg
went to the club every day. Everything in
his life had to be right. On the morning of
2nd October 1872 his servant, James
Forster, brought him water at 30°C and not
32°C. So this servant had to go. Phileas
Fogg sat at home in his Savile Row House.
He waited for his new servant. His name is
Jean Passepartout, he was fireman in Paris

PASSEPARTOUR
 CHAPTER II
THE BET

• In the reform club, Fogg met his friends read the

newspaper and played card games. That day the
conversation of the subject of the recent robbery to the
bank of England for fifty thousand pounds sterling arose.
Stuart said that it was impossible to travel the earth in 80
days but Fogg supported this theory and to prove it, he
launched a bet in which he had to travel the earth in 80
days from that moment, and if he did not return punctually
to pity the members of the club, he would lose half of his
fortune
