Extract:

Phileas Fogg never misses a beat. He is punctual, partial and more than a bit obsessed with time. Being a lonely lord in an old mansion in London doesn’t seem to bother him, though. He has two passions: plan the time for tea, and being right.

When a debate between his friends at the club happened about how long it would take to travel around the world started, he stated that it could be done in eighty days. Of course, his friends thought he was crazy.

It is 1872 after all. But Phileas bets on his idea 20.000 pounds (his entire fortune) that he can travel the world in 80 days. His friends agree to the bet.

Meanwhile, a suspicious looking gentleman has robbed the Bank of England. He looks like Phileas Fogg. Detective Fix, a police officer is now on the castle to pursue and arrest Phileas Fog for burglary, but he has to catch him first.

Phileas and his servant Passepartout leave that night with detective Fix following them. As the adventures continue, they stop to help an Indian princess in distress, and fog duels with an American colonel.

In order to be faster, Phileas uses all kinds of means of transport: ships, trains, elephants, planes… Even though he is in a hurry, Phileas stays calmed and tries to plan everything as best as he can. However, he needs to move quickly because Fix is getting closer to him…
