"Around the World in Eighty Days" is an adventure novel by Jules Verne, first
published in French in 1872. The story follows Phileas Fogg, a wealthy English
gentleman, and his French valet Passepartout as they attempt to circumnavigate
the world in 80 days on a wager of £20,000 set by his friends at the Reform
Club. The novel was written during difficult times for France and Verne, and
the technological innovations of the 19th century had opened the possibility
of rapid circumnavigation. The book sparked the imagination that anyone could
travel around the world, a feat previously reserved for only the most heroic
and hardy of adventurers. The idea of a trip around the world within a set
period had clear external origins, and the title "Around the World in Eighty
Days" is not original. The novel has been adapted into plays, films, and even
a video game. The Jules Verne Trophy has been given to the boat that sails
around the world without stopping and with no outside assistance in the
shortest time since 1993. In 2017, Mark Beaumont, a British cyclist inspired
by Verne, set out to cycle across the world in 80 days.
