Characters
Of Phileas Fogg:
”He was one of the most prominent members of the London Reform Cub, though he never did anything to attract attention; an enigmatic character about who little was known except that he was a polished man of the world. People said that he resembled Byron – at least that his head was Byronic; but he was a bearded, tranquil Byron, who might live on a thousand years without growing old.”

Jules Verne’s famous book Around the World in 80 Days is truly a timeless classic. Detailing the exploits of Phileas Fogg, an eccentric Englishmen whose punctuality is famed and his impassiveness legendary, and his new valet, French former Acrobat Passepartout, who only wants a quiet life to forget his turbulent past. With Fogg’s fabled routine-driven life that you could set you clock by, peace and quiet for Passepartout seems assured. Until, that is, his new Master returns home to announce that, as a result of a wager at the Reform club, of which Fogg is a patron, he finds out that he has twenty minutes to get things ready for a trip – across the globe… in just 80 days. ...

(Although I will no doubt be tempted to refer to said cartoon series throughout the ...
