Around The World In 80 Days

Chapter 12 Phileas Fogg was in prison! Passepartout would have strangled Fix had not some policemen held him back. He also might have blown his own brains out had his revolver been handy. “Why didn’t I tell my master what Fix was really up to?” he cried, blaming himself for the terrible mess. He had […]

Chapter 11 “Where is the train?” asked Phileas Fogg the moment he returned. “Gone,” said Aouda, sobbing with relief in Passepartout’s arms. “When will the next train pass through?”“Not until this evening.” Fogg was already 20 hours behind schedule, and he had to reach New York by 9:00 in the evening on December 11 in

Chapter 10 On December 7, the train stopped at the Green River station, and Aouda saw Colonel Stamp Proctor on the platform. “We must keep this man away from Mr. Fogg!” she whispered to Passepartout and Fix. “Don’t worry,” said Fix, “Before he settles with Mr. Fogg, he must settle with me. It was I

Chapter 9 A train was due to leave San Francisco for New York at 6:00 in the evening. Fogg and Aouda ate lunch and then went to the consulate for a visa. On the way there, they met Detective Fix. “I didn’t know that we all crossed the Pacific on the General Grant,” Fix lied,

Chapter 8 On November 7 at 6:30 p.m., the Carnatic set sail from Hong Kong. Passepartout was on board. He had been carried by two waiters to the bed in tavern. Struggling against the effects of the opium, he dreamed of his duty to tell Phileas Fogg about the Carnatic’s new timetable. Somehow he dragged

Chapter 7 “Have you decided to travel with us to America, Mr. Fix?’ asked Passepartout. “Yes,” replied the detective, who, in fact, was determined to keep Phileas Fogg from leaving Hong Kong before the arrest warrant arrived. “Good! I didn’t think you could bear to be apart from us,” said the servant, chuckling, “Let’s get

Chapter 6 Phileas Fogg sailed from India to Hong Kong on the steamer Rangoon. During the trip, which normally took 10 to 12 days, Aouda related the story of her life, and Passepartout told her about his master’s 20,000 – pound bet. Fogg himself spent long hours with Aouda but rarely spoke to her. He

Chapter 5 Aouda, as the young woman was called, was also a Parsee. Famed for her beauty, she was the daughter of a rich merchant in Bombay and had received English education. After her father had died, she was forced to marry the old rajah. When she ran away, she was caught and brought back.

Chapter 4 Phileas Fogg and Passepartout got off the steamer at 4:00. In four hours, the train would leave Bombay, on the west coast of India, for Calcutta, in the northeast. Caring nothing for the sights of India, Fogg went directly to the consulate for a visa and then to the railroad station for dinner.

Chapter 3 “I think I’ve got my man!” shouted Fix, bursting into the consul’s office. “That may be so, Mr. Fix, but I don’t think he’ll come to see me. A robber just doesn’t let people know where he is. Besides, the passport doesn’t really need to be stamped with a visa at Suez.” “If

Chapter 2 At 7:25, Phileas Fogg gathered up his winnings from whist and left the Reform Club. Imagine Passepartout’s amazement when his master arrived home long before his usual midnight hour. “We’re leaving for Dover, England, Calais and France in ten minutes!” Fogg declared. “Are you leaving home, sir?”“Yes.

Chapter 1 On 2 October 1872, Phileas Fogg bet his life savings that he could travel around the world in 80 days. Mr. Fogg, an English gentleman, lived at No.7 Saville Row in London, but not much else was known about him. He never went to the business and social places where important Londoners gathered.
