Around the World in Eighty Days
About This Novel
Mr. Fogg and the members of the Reform Club bet £20,000 on whether they could travel around the world in eighty days. Then he took his servant nicknamed "Jack of All Trades" and set out from London on an incredible journey around the world. In the end, after experiencing natural and man-made disasters, in the 19th century when there were no airplanes or ocean-going ships, he actually completed this impossible journey around the earth. The protagonists of the novel are Fogg and Know-it-all, who contrast each other in character. Fogg was extremely calm and composed by nature, full of determination, generosity, rich knowledge and profound humanitarian spirit. He was an action hero with ideals and abilities. His servant Wan Shitong is loyal to his master. Although he is playful and makes mistakes sometimes, he always stands up at critical moments to help his master overcome difficulties. Without him, Fogg would definitely not be able to return to London as scheduled.
