Summery:
On October 2, 1872, phileas fogg placed a huge bet with his friends to circumnavigate the globe in 80 days. That night he left London with his French servant know-it-all and began his unusual journey. The event caused a stir all over the country.
Seven days after his departure, a large sum of money was stolen from the national bank of England. Untroubled by setbacks, foggo, having calculated the exact time, reached suez, and reached India by boat, and on the voyage from Bombay to Calcutta, saved aouda, a young Indian widow, who was about to be buried.
They reached Hong Kong by mail, and fix had not yet received his warrant. Fix tried to buy time by anestheting passepartout with opium. Fogg made his way to Japan, where he met passepartout. After several setbacks, he crossed the north American continent, and with victory in sight, fix arrested fogg "in the name of the queen's government."
Fog was later released because the real thief had been arrested three days earlier. When fog reached London, he was five minutes behind schedule, and found that by traveling eastward, he had gained a day, and that he had won his victory and the love of aouda, who was young, fair, and lovely.
