Around the World in Eighty Days is an adventure novel by the writer Jules Verne. It was published in 1873. In the story, Phileas Fogg of London and his newly employed Passepartout attempt to circumnavigate the world in 80 days on a £20,000 wager, set by his friends at the Reform Club. It is one of Verne's most acclaimed Works.
The story starts in London on Tuesday, 1 October 1872. Phileas Fogg is a rich British gentleman living in solitude. Despite his wealth, Phileas Fogg lives a modest life with habits carried out with mathematical precision. Very little can be said about his social life other than that he is a member of the Reform Club.
With Passepartout accompanying him, Fogg departs from London by train at 8:45 p.m. on 2 October; if he is to win the wager, then he will have to return to the club by this same time on 21 December, 80 days later.
Fogg and Passepartout reach Suez in time. While disembarking in Egypt, they are watched by a Scotland Yard detective, Detective Fix, who has been dispatched from London in search of a bank robber. Since Fogg fits the vague description Scotland Yard was given of the robber, Detective Fix mistakes Fogg for the criminal.
