1872년, 침착하고 정확한 필리어스 포그 씨는 팔십 일 안에 세계를 여행할 수 있다는 내기에 이만 파운드를 걸고, 그의 프랑스 하인 파스파르투와 함께, 그리고 뒤를 따르는 형사를 피해 기차, 증기선, 코끼리, 썰매를 타고 시간을 다투어 경주한다.
In the year 1872, the house at number 7 Savile Row in London belonged to Mr. Phileas Fogg. He was one of the most noticeable members of the Reform Club, although he seemed to do everything he could to avoid being noticed. Nobody knew very much about him. He was an Englishman, that much was certain. He was handsome and tall, with a calm face, fair hair and a fine beard. People guessed that he was about forty years old.
Was he rich? Without doubt. But how he had made his money, not even his best-informed neighbours could say. He was never seen at the stock exchange or at the bank. He did not own ships, and he was not a merchant or a farmer. He was not a lawyer either, nor a doctor. He belonged to no society except the Reform Club, and that was all.
He did not spend much, but he was not mean. Whenever money was needed for a good cause, he gave it quietly and without fuss. He spoke as little as possible, and his silence made him seem even more mysterious. Yet his life was completely open. He did the same things every day at exactly the same times, so that people who wanted to know more about him could only wonder.
