Book Review: Around the World in Eighty Days

When you step into the world of Jules Verne, you step into a world of possibilities and endless adventures. You also meet untorgettable characters.

Phileas Fogg.a rich Englishman,accepts a bet from his friends at the Retorm Club to travel around the world in eighty days.Of couse. none of his companions believe he can do it Although that sounds like no big deal to us now, back then, it was a big achievement.The bet was set at a remarkable 20,000 pounds.

Phileas Fogg had just employed a loveable Frenchman named Passepartout to be his servant.To me, he was the most interesting and emotional character Verne created. He's a humble.dedicated servant who truly would do anything for Phileas Fogg.

Along their journey, Passepartout meets a man named Fix, who just happens to be a detective on board the train searching for a bank robber. They guckly become friends,but Fix has an ulterior motive.

While in India-they ride an elephant to Allahabad-they see a lovely woman named Aouda, who is about to sacrifice herself by suttee Thanks to Passepartout's quick thinking, he takes the place of Aouda's dead husband in the practice of a widow throwing herself onto her dead husband's funeral pyre.He then rises from the pyre and scares oft the Brahmins and rescues Aouda.

No matter what delays occur on the journey.every single problem is solved by money.Need a ride? Buy an elephant. Need a steamboat? Buy it from the captain. Need to get there fast? Bribe the engineers. Even in the late 1870s, money could still solve all your problems. It is interesting to note that today's society still has the same ideology.Will Phileas Fog make it in time? What happens to Aouda? And Fix? Find out when you go around the world in eighty days
