9. JULES VERNE
This book is about a man called Phileas Fogg that
used to spend his free time at the “Reform Club”
playing cards (whist) with his friends.
One day, he placed a bet of 20.000 pounds saying
that he could go around the world in 80 days.
Nobody believed he could get it since they didn’t
have the technologies (planes, internet, telephone,…)
that we have today. If he failed, he would lose half of
his fortune.
That day, they heard that there was a bank robbery
and the thief got away with 50.000 pounds. Detective
Fix thought that Mr. Fogg was the thief and tried to
catch him throughout the journey.
