Features: Mr. Fogg, a member of the Reform Club in London, made a bet with his friends that he could travel around the world in 80 days. Everyone didn’t believe it, so he and his servant Passepartout left London by train at 8:45 PM on October 2, 1872, and began their global journey. They passed through many countries with diverse cultures, experienced various difficulties and dangers, and finally returned to London on December 21, completing their 80-day journey. However, they actually only took 79 days to travel around the world. Why 79 days instead of 80? From the book, you can not only find the answer but also learn a lot of geographical knowledge and understand the customs and cultures of different places.
