Since he cannot secure a warrant in time, Fix boards the steamer (the Mongolia) conveying the travellers to Bombay. Verne might have implied that Europe was the easiest continent to traverse. Thus, the day he added to his clock throughout his journey would be removed upon crossing this imaginary line. Additionally, because of Yemen's on-going civil war, stopping off in Aden is very dangerous and strongly discouraged (as of Dec 2018). With Passepartout accompanying him, Fogg departs from London by train at 8:45 p.m. on 2 October; in order to win the wager, he must return to the club by this same time on 21 December, 80 days later. He finds a steamboat, the Henrietta, destined for Bordeaux, France. At Calcutta, they board a steamer (the Rangoon) going to Hong Kong, with a day's stopover in Singapore. The fantastic adventures of Englishman Phileas Fogg who, to win a bet, journeyed around the world in the "record time" of 80 days using every mode of transportation from train to boat to elephant and balloon. He then bribes the crew to mutiny and make course for Liverpool. In 1871 appeared Around the World by Steam, via Pacific Railway, published by the Union Pacific Railroad Company, and an Around the World in A Hundred and Twenty Days by Edmond Planchut. Elizabeth Jane Cochrane ("Nellie Bly" of the Joseph Pulitzer tabloid New York World) completed an 1889 round the world overland trip in seventy-two days; Elizabeth Bisland (of Cosmopolitan magazine) completed a simultaneous, rival trip in the opposite direction in 76½ days. In the novel, Phileas Fogg finds out that the Trans-Indian railroad is 50 miles short of completion between Kholby and 25.4440581.844548 Allahabad, and therefore has to ride an elephant through the jungle. In Yokohama, they search for Passepartout, believing that he arrived there on the Carnatic as originally planned. Q2.Phileas Fogg is a name synonymous with world adventure! Fogg was nevertheless able to make it to Allahabad in time to catch the train bound for 22.543588.33429 Calcutta. 2,357 talking about this. Having spent almost £19,000 of his travel money during the journey, he divides the remainder between Passepartout and Fix and marries Aouda. Fix promises Passepartout that now, he will no longer try to delay Fogg’s journey. Another early reference comes from the Italian traveler Giovanni Francesco Gemelli Careri. [9] It is unknown if Verne submitted to their requests, but the descriptions of some rail and shipping lines[which?] He shows himself to Passepartout, who is delighted to again meet his travelling companion from the earlier voyage. This border is disputed, the border area is very mountainous, and road infrastructure is quite limited. Additionally, in Who Betrays Elizabeth Bennet?, John Sutherland points out that Fogg and company would have to be "deaf, dumb and blind" not to notice how busy the streets were on an apparent "Sunday", with the Sunday Observance Act 1780 still in effect.[11]. The route therefore must make a lengthy detour via a third country, or go by air or sea. The UK, India and the US had the same calendar with different local times.

Crossing the Pacific is probably the hardest problem to solve for anyone who'd like … It takes another 22 days for Phileas and Passepartout to travel from Yokohama (Japan) to San Francisco (USA). He would also somehow have to avoid looking at any newspapers. While one Cunard passenger liner still plies the seas, most passenger ship travel is by cruise ships designed as entertainment rather than as the backbone of an efficient transport system. Another alternative, then, would be traveling down to Djibouti and cross over to Yemen, one of the world's most dangerous countries. Phileas Fogg was therefore justified in hoping that he would reach San Francisco by the 2nd of December, New York by the 11th, and London on the 20th—thus gaining several hours on the fatal date of the 21st of December. A modified version of this would be doing the trip mostly overland. A trip to Tokyo takes 12 days with multiple stops in China and South Korea; Okinawa can be reached in five days with fewer intermediate stops. The journey, as described in the story, was technically possible with the new technology of its era. Such places include Egypt, Yemen, India, Singapore, Hong Kong and Ireland, with Shanghai also home to a British concession at that time. If it did, he would have been made aware of the change in date once he reached this line. Similarities include the hiring of a private train and being imprisoned.

Passepartout informs Fogg of his mistake, and Fogg hurries to the Reform Club just in time to meet his deadline and win the wager. The companions arrive at Queenstown (Cobh), Ireland, take the train to Dublin and then a ferry to Liverpool, still in time to reach London before the deadline. Having dismissed his former valet, James Forster, for bringing him shaving water at 84 °F (29 °C) instead of 86 °F (30 °C), Fogg hires Frenchman Jean Passepartout as a replacement. Crossing the Pacific is probably the hardest problem to solve for anyone who'd like to travel around the world without flying. The Jules Verne itinerary (written in 1872) makes its North American transcontinental journey entirely through the United States by rail; a railway across Canada would not exist until 1885 and a system of United States Numbered Highways (which included the once-famous Route 66) would not exist until 1926. Fogg travels from 51.5086-0.12641 London, to 48.8562.3512 Paris, 45.06677.73 Turin and 40.63333317.9333334 Brindisi within three days. Services of language translation the ...

A few points under British control in the depicted era are no longer part of the empire or Commonwealth; the Suez Canal is now controlled by Egypt, the political situation in much of the Middle East and Central Asia leaves much to be desired, and Hong Kong is now under the control of China. Because the party had travelled eastward, their days were shortened by four minutes for each of the 360 degrees of longitude they crossed; thus, although they had experienced the same amount of time abroad as people had experienced in London, they had seen 80 sunrises and sunsets while London had seen only 79. The "world cruise" offered (usually as a once-a-year tour) by cruise ship lines cannot be completed in eighty days as it's designed for sightseeing; it takes a hopelessly indirect route, calls in every port, and stops for a day or two to allow the traveller to tour each city.

The General Grant makes its scheduled stop in 35.444167139.63805613 Yokohama, where Fogg had intended to board. In addition to that, visa procedures often differ by port of entry and those for overland or ship entry tend to be harder than those for entry via air. Fogg purchases an elephant, hires a guide, and starts toward Allahabad. These include Persia during the Ottoman Empire, Hindustan during the reign of Aurungzebe, the Chinese Lantern Festival and the Great Wall, and the native people of Meso-America. Modern cruise ships connect Hong Kong's busy seaport to many destinations, including Tokyo and Okinawa. Freighter travel is probably your best bet here. [citation needed], The closing date of the novel, 21 December 1872, was the same date as the serial publication. Fogg catches one of the express mail trains from Queenstown to 53.347778-6.25972222 Dublin, followed by a fast boat from Dublin to 53.4-2.98333323 Liverpool, where he is arrested by Fix on reaching English soil. The travellers hasten to catch the train at the next railway station, taking Aouda with them. He traveled by train from Cleveland to San Francisco The name needs the word "Ender" in it.

In the book, Fogg boarded an Omaha-bound Pacific Railroad train at Oakland Railway Station. [citation needed] Post-Colonial readings of the novel elucidate Verne's role as propagandist for European global dominance. Certainly no replacement for the historic ocean liner, which was built for speed. "[9], Regarding the idea of gaining a day, Verne said of its origin: "I have a great number of scientific odds and ends in my head. Widespread deployment of steam power on land and sea was slashing travel times on an unprecedented scale in the mid to late 1800s; a intercity journey by stagecoach that used to take a week was often completed same-day by rail. Fogg learns that the Daily Telegraph article was wrong; a 50-mile stretch of track from Kholby to Allahabad has not yet been built. "[9] Around the World itself says the origins were a newspaper article. He traveled by train from Cleveland to San Francisco ; He was born in Exeter, on the river Exe ; He visited Baghdad; Q3.Which of these … * - Main goods are marked with red color . However, Oakland railway station is no longer served by transcontinental trains with those now serving Emeryville instead. This remains possible; in the modern era one may take Eurostar from St. Pancras in London to Paris, then trains through Munich and Bologna to Brindisi in southeastern Italy, 29 hours total. Going north, you will hardly have any problems getting into Nepal, though crossing into Tibet will require some bureaucracy.

Which statement below is false for the real-life inspiration behind this memorable character? Around the World in Eighty Days (French: Le tour du monde en quatre-vingt jours) is a novel by Jules Verne, described contemporaneously as taking place in December 1872, as the historical British Empire on which "the sun never sets" was nearing its peak. [9] In particular, three technological breakthroughs occurred in 1869–70 that made a tourist-like around-the-world journey possible for the first time: the completion of the First Transcontinental Railroad in America (1869), the linking of the Indian railways across the sub-continent (1870), and the opening of the Suez Canal (1869).
