Abstract This paper discusses the classic novel "Around the World in 80 Days" by Jules Verne. It portrays the colorful characters involved in the story and describes the effect of the older writing style, which succeeds in convincing the reader that he has traveled back through time, as well as around the world.
From the Paper "The setting for this book is nearly the entire world. As the main character, Phileas Fogg, attempts his feat, he takes the readers to many locales that were quite exotic when the book was written, including Cairo, Egypt; Bombay and Calcutta in India; Hong Kong; Yokohama, Japan; and the wild west of the United States. Each place is described in great detail and gives the reader a better understanding of the place Fogg and his companion have traveled to."
