The novel originated from an English gentleman, Fogg, who made a bet with his friend that he would travel around the world once in 80 days and return to London. Later, he and his servants overcame the difficulties and obstacles on the road, traveled to India, Singapore, Japan, the United States and other places through the Mediterranean Sea, the Red Sea, the Indian Ocean, the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean, and finally returned to London. Phileas Fogg was witty and brave all the way, showing a complete gentlemanly demeanor. ?
While introducing local customs and geographical knowledge, the author also criticized and lashed out at various barbaric, backward and ignorant social conditions with a strong sense of justice and humanitarian spirit (such as the poison of British opium to the people of China, the war election system in the United States).

The influence of the work
During the serialization of Around the World in Eighty Days, Parisians paid attention to Fogg's next travel location, and American reporters telegraphed his travel route to the newspaper. When Fogg went to Japan from Hongkong, China, speculation on the other side of the ocean became heated due to the obstruction of detectives. Several shipping companies telegraphed the author and asked him to let Fogg take their boat. The company would pay the author a huge sum of money.
