Maan Ympäri 80 Päivässä
1873
Translated by Samuli Suomalainen
A novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers on Phileas Fogg, a punctual and enigmatic gentleman who embarks on an ambitious journey to circumnavigate the globe in just eighty days, accompanied by his new servant Passepartout. The book explores themes of adventure, determination, and the challenges of travel during a time of significant technological advancement. At the start of the novel, we meet Phileas Fogg, who lives a highly ordered and solitary life in London, characterized by his meticulous routine and punctuality. After a conversation at the Reform Club regarding a recent bank robbery, where Fogg's claim that it's possible to travel around the world in eighty days is met with skepticism, he impulsively bets a substantial sum of money on the venture. The opening chapters introduce us to Fogg's new servant, Passepartout, who finds himself bewildered by his employer’s sudden decision to embark on such a challenge, setting the stage for the adventurous journey that lies ahead.

“Peter was not with them for the moment, and they felt rather lonely up there by themselves. He could go so much faster than they that he would suddenly shoot out of sight, to have some adventure in which they had no share. He would come down laughing over something fearfully funny he had been saying to a star, but he had already forgotten what it was, or he would come up with mermaid scales still sticking to him, and yet not be able to to say for certain what had been happening. It was really rather irritating to children who had never seen a mermaid.””

“Why, you are a man of heart!""Sometimes," replied Phileas Fogg, quietly. "When I have the time.””
