: 19th century. The Englishman goes around the earth for a dispute in 80 days, simultaneously rescues the Indian beauty, fights with the Indians and crosses the ocean on a stolen boat, not suspecting that he is being pursued by a detective.
Division into chapters is conditional.
London, England
Phileas Fogg was a mysterious person. No one knew what this gentleman was doing, it was only known that he was rich and lonely.
Phileas Fogg - a wealthy eccentric Englishman, a tall and handsome gentleman of about forty, lonely, punctual, cold-blooded, unsociable and generous
Fogg was a member of the London Reform Club. His whole day was scheduled in minutes, he did not leave London for many years, but he knew a lot about the most remote places on earth.
On October 2, 1872, Fogg hired a new servant, the Frenchman Jean Passepartout, who spent a stormy youth and now dreamed of a quiet, measured life. Learning about Fogg’s pedantry, Passepartout decided that he would be the perfect host for him.
Jean Passepartout - Fogg’s servant, a Frenchman, a big man with full lips and curly hair, in his youth he was an acrobat and a fireman, his name in French means “prolaza”, “dodger”
On the evening of the same day, members of the Reform Club discussed the robbery of the Bank of England. Police suspected a representative gentleman seen at the bank. Police were sent to all major ports, but the offender disappeared.
Fogg noticed that the thief was probably far away, because the world had become so small that you could go around the world in eighty days. Club members replied that it was not possible to go around the earth during this period due to various unforeseen difficulties.
Then Fogg made a bet with the members of the Reform Club that he would travel around the world in eighty days, and put at stake half his fortune. He will lose this money if he does not return to the Reform Club on December 21, at eight hours and forty-five minutes in the evening.
Mr. Fogg was ready. In his hands he held the famous railway and shipping guide and Bradshaw guide, which was supposed to serve him during the trip.
Egypt and the Suez Canal
That same evening, capturing the remaining half of the fortune, Fogg, along with a stunned Passepartout, crossed France and arrived at the Egyptian port of Suez according to schedule.
Police agent Fix, who was on duty in Suez, found out that among the passengers of one of the ferries there was a gentleman who, according to the description, looked like a man seen in the English Bank, and suspected Fogg of a robbery.
Fix - a police agent, short and thin, with a smart face and attentive eyes, corrosive and indefatigable, does not doubt his detective abilities
The agent met Passepartout, he told how hastily they left London, and admitted that he did not believe in betting. Passepartout believed that behind this haste "lies something else."
Fix finally made sure Fogg was a thief. He demanded that an arrest warrant be sent to Bombay, and he himself followed Fogg to India on the same ship.
The ship passed the Suez Canal, ahead of schedule by two days.
India
In Bombay, Fix discovered that Fogg's arrest warrant had not yet arrived. Passepartout realized that Fogg was not joking and really intended to go around the globe in eighty days.
Walking around Bombay, Passepartout desecrated one of the temples, going into it in shoes. Fix decided to make this incident a pretext for arrest and went to Calcutta separately from the travelers.
Fogg and Passepartout decided to take the railway that runs through all of India. It turned out that in one place the road was not completed.Arriving on an elephant through the jungle to the nearest station, the travelers rescued the young widow of Audu, who, according to ancient Indian tradition, they wanted to burn at the stake with her dead Raja husband.
Auda is a young Indian woman, the daughter of a wealthy merchant, a widow, a fair-skinned beauty who received a European education, courageous, is not afraid of trials
The cunning Passepartout, disguised as a dead rajah, carried the beauty straight from the burning fire.
Old Raja has come to life! Like a ghost, he got up from his bed, took his young wife in his arms and left the fire, shrouded in puffs of smoke that gave him a ghostly appearance.
It turned out that Auda was orphaned and could no longer remain in India, where she would be found and burned. Fogg took to take her to Hong Kong, to a wealthy relative.
After spending two weeks to save Audes, Fogg arrived in Calcutta on schedule, October 25th. Right at the station, Passepartout was arrested for desecrating the bombing temple, and Fogg had to pay a round sum as security.
To Fix's chagrin, Fogg’s arrest warrant had not yet reached Calcutta, and the travelers set off on a steamer to Hong Kong unhindered. Fix followed them.
From India to Japan
On the boat, Fix renewed his acquaintance with Passepartout. It seemed strange to the Frenchman that this man everywhere followed them. He decided that the members of the Ref-club hired Fix "to monitor the correct fulfillment of the conditions around the world."
The ship was late for the day, Fogg did not have time for the ship going to Yokohama, but found another one leaving early in the morning. It turned out that a relative of Auda moved to Europe. Fogg invited her to go there with him.
When ordering cabins, Passepartout found out that the ship would not leave for Yokohama this morning, but this evening. He did not have time to warn the owner - Fix lured him into an opium stash and tried to convince him that Fogg was a thief and should be detained until a warrant arrived. Faithful to Passepartout refused to believe in it. Fix gave him a drink and slipped a tube of opium.
In the morning, Fogg discovered that the ship sailed to Yokohama without him. Not bewildered, the unflappable Englishman hired a pilot ship, the captain of which agreed to deliver him to Shanghai, where the ship going to Yokohama enters. Fix stuck in trust in Fogg and swam with him and Audi.
Having fallen on a road in a tropical storm, Fogg reached Shanghai and, right at the entrance to the bay, transferred to a ship going to Yokohama.
Passepartout, meanwhile, in a semi-conscious state, reached the ship on which he was to sail to Japan with Fogg. Recovering, he remembered that he had not warned the owner about the changed time of departure, but it was already too late.
In Yokohama, Passepartout, by a miracle of coincidence, met Fogg and Audu and went with them to San Francisco on a large wheeled steamer.
On the boat, Passepartout met Fix and beat him, but then they made a ceasefire. Fogg left the English colonies. Fix received a warrant, but could no longer arrest him and was interested in the Englishman getting to England as soon as possible. Fix vowed that he would help Fogg in everything, and Passepartout decided not to tell the owner.
United States of America
On December 3, the ship arrived in San Francisco, and in the evening, travelers boarded a train traveling across the North American continent.
They had restaurant cars, terrace cars, saloon cars, coffee carriages. Only theatrical cars were lacking. But over time, they will appear.
Auda had long been embraced by Fogg with tender feelings, but he still seemed cold and calm.
The train crossing the endless prairies was attacked by a tribe of bloodthirsty Indians. Passengers began to defend themselves, and the leader of the Indians climbed into the engine and, unknowingly, pressed the lever increasing the speed of the train.
Ahead was a station with a military fort, and the train had to be stopped near it, otherwise the Indians would kill all the passengers.At the risk of his life, Passepartout crawled under the wagons and unhooked them from the engine, after which he was kidnapped by escaped Indians.
Fogg went for Passepartout and brought him back, but he lost a lot of time, and the train did not wait for him. Fix saved the situation. He found the owner of the sailing sleigh, the travelers reached New York, but still missed the boat going to Liverpool.
Atlantic ocean and England again
Fogg found a merchant ship, the intractable captain of which agreed to take them only to Bordeaux. As soon as the ship went out into the ocean, Fogg locked the captain in the cabin, bribed the crew and went to Liverpool, controlling the ship like a real sailor.
Coal ran out on the ship. Fogg released the captain, bought a steamer from him and burned all its wooden parts for the remaining path, but Liverpool did not have enough fuel. Travelers landed in Ireland, boarded a fast train and arrived in Liverpool on the morning of December 21, where Fix arrested Fogg and put him in a cell. Passepartout was very remorseful for not telling Fogg who Fix was really.
It soon became clear that the real thief had long been detained. Fogg was released, he ordered a special train to London, but was five minutes late and lost the bet. The depressed gentleman offered Aude the remnants of his estate, but the woman said that she loved him and would be his wife. It turned out that Fogg also fell in love with Audu, but hid his feelings behind external impassivity.
Agreeing with the priest about the wedding, Passepartout found out that today is not Sunday, but Saturday. They arrived in London not December 21, but December 20, as they moved east. At the intersection of each degree of longitude the day of travelers decreased by four minutes, and these minutes gathered at 24 hours.
Fogg managed to enter the Reform Club and win the bet. A day later, his wedding took place. On this journey, Fogg spent half his fortune, but won much more - the love of a beautiful woman.
