Book summary

In London in 1872, Phileas Fogg, a very methodical English gentleman, bets a fortune that he can travel around the world in eighty days. He leaves that very evening with Passepartout, his new manservant, a resourceful Frenchman. Inspector Fix sets off after them, convinced he is dealing with a thief.

By steamer, by train and even on the back of an elephant, Fogg races against the clock, and one surprise follows another right up to the very last page.

Full of pace and humour, the novel is easy to read in the language you are learning.

The plot

一位英國紳士的賭約。在倫敦,英國紳士斐利亞·福克押上一半家產——兩萬英鎊,打賭自己能在80天內環遊世界一周。他當晚就出發,必須在12月21日前回到俱樂部。

The world of the book

搭火車,坐輪船,騎大象。故事始於1872年的倫敦。那時還沒有飛機:要環遊世界,只能搭火車、坐輪船,而且不能錯過任何一班。斐利亞·福克就這樣穿越埃及、印度、中國、日本和美國。在印度,鐵路還沒修通。為了繼續前進,他買下了一頭大象。
