| Summary |
"Maan ympäri 80 päivässä" by Jules Verne is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers on Phileas Fogg, a punctual and enigmatic gentleman who embarks on an ambitious journey to circumnavigate the globe in just eighty days, accompanied by his new servant Passepartout. The book explores themes of adventure, determination, and the challenges of travel during a time of significant technological advancement. At the start of the novel, we meet Phileas Fogg, who lives a highly ordered and solitary life in London, characterized by his meticulous routine and punctuality. After a conversation at the Reform Club regarding a recent bank robbery, where Fogg's claim that it's possible to travel around the world in eighty days is met with skepticism, he impulsively bets a substantial sum of money on the venture. The opening chapters introduce us to Fogg's new servant, Passepartout, who finds himself bewildered by his employer’s sudden decision to embark on such a challenge, setting the stage for the adventurous journey that lies ahead.
