A series of technological advancements at the beginning of the year 1870 made it possible, for the very first time, to travel around the world in eighty days. Jules Verne realized this one morning as he was reading the newspaper and set off to write the classic adventure novel Around The World in 80 Days. The story follows a rich englishman by the name of Mr. Fogg who, on a bet, decides to make a mad dash at being the first person in the world to circumnavigate the world in such a short period of time. In his journey, he deals with troublesome natives, a group of people about to sacrifice a beautiful woman, and a police officer who is convinced that Mr. Fogg has been robbing a string of banks along the way. The places and the list of characters, along with Jules Verne’s suspenseful style, make this novel very difficult to put down.
In many ways, Around The World in Eighty Days, is an icon of a time rife with excitement about technological progress. Aviation simply didn’t exist then, and people weren’t used to the idea of being able to cross very large distances over such a short period of time. The prospect of traveling around the world in eighty days must have been absolutely fascinating. Even in our modern age of aviation, any kind of journey around the world is still amazing and open only to those who are courageous and financially endowed enough to do it.
