The journey begins when at the Reform Club, Phileas Fogg, in one of the many evenings and nights, that he spend in the club, makes a start to friends of the club, he could, traveling around the world in eighty days. And you had to employ all the means for transport of the time: << vapors boats, rail cars, yachts, merchant ships, shots, elephants >>. And it costs more than nineteen thousand pounds; "Most of his fortune." But the bet cost twenty thousand pounds of benefit to him. His friends attended the bet, but not before hesitating a moment in achieving this adventure, and I should jump from a railroad and steam to a steam railway in the least possible time and the itinerary would be as follows:

The eccentric Phileas Fogg, had deployed in this business their wonderful qualities of serenity, accuracy and others who are discovered while reading.
The story takes very little time trial narrative adventure in which you have to negotiate all kinds of climatic adversity, as in the same way that all impediments made available to the "Fix Police" and the fate against "Phileas Fogg," and your traveling companions.
But at the end of your trip, once you've lost everything, we can ask ourselves; What had earned that trip, and the trip cost him the benefits of the bet? Or rather What had brought from his trip worthwhile?
Nothing will be said. Nothing, unless a beautiful woman named Aouda, that made him the happiest of men, after marry him. Which he rescued from a human sacrifice in India risking his own life.
And truly, I wonder, who of us will not go around the world many times, just to meet that amazing woman?
