The Wager
London, Wednesday the second of October, 1872. Phileas Fogg, the most exact and least communicative member of the Reform Club, engages a new manservant, Passepartout, at half past eleven in the morning; by the evening he has…
The Detective
The wager is soon all London's argument: the newspapers, the Royal Geographical Society and the floor of the Exchange weigh in, and Mr. Fogg is quoted like a racehorse. Then a telegram from Suez reaches Scotland Yard: the…
The Elephant
Bombay, a day early. Passepartout's curiosity costs him his shoes in a temple, Fix cannot get his warrant and follows the travellers anyway, and the railway across India stops short of where the map says it should end. Mr. Fogg…
The Rescue
By night, in a glade lit with torches, Mr. Fogg, who has no business in the affairs of India, decides that a ceremony shall not take place, and a Frenchman has the idea that decides it. Then the Ganges, a long railway journey…
The Last English Ground
From Calcutta by steamer through the Bay of Bengal, the Strait of Malacca and the China Sea to Hong Kong, the last ground where an English warrant has any force. Mr. Fogg keeps Aouda company and the timetable; Fix, aboard in…
The Typhoon
In Hong Kong a detective takes a Frenchman to a tavern on the quay, and what happens there leaves Mr. Fogg short of a servant and of a steamer. He finds another way: the Tankadere, a small pilot-cutter, and her captain, who will…
The Long Noses
Passepartout wakes aboard the Carnatic with no master, no money and an empty stomach, and lands at Yokohama knowing nobody. A strong back is worth a meal to a troupe of acrobats, the Long Noses, and at the top of a human pyramid…
Ocean to Ocean
San Francisco on election day: the travellers' first hours on American soil are a street brawl, a smashed hat and an insult that Colonel Stamp Proctor does not intend to forget. Then the Pacific Railroad, a continent at twenty…
Simply His Duty
In the Rocky Mountains the train meets a bridge that will not bear it, a colonel who will not forget an insult, and a Frenchman with a simple idea that nobody wishes to hear. A duel is interrupted by the Sioux, who have their…
Sails on the Snow
At a snowbound station on the plains two people wait for news of a rescue party, one of them a detective who no longer knows what he wants. Then the great race east: a sledge with a sail running over the frozen prairie, Chicago…
The Eightieth Day
The last days of the wager: a steamer running out of coal, a landing at Liverpool where a certain detective has waited for his moment, a train to London, and a clock at the Reform Club. It is shown that Phileas Fogg gained…
