Around the World in Eighty Days is a adventure novel that was first published in 1873 by a French writer Jules Verne. In the story, two men made a bet that they can circle around the world in 80 days on a £20,000.This book was written around the difficult times of the Franco-Prussian War in 1870. Jules Verne was having a series of unfortunate events when he was writing this book: he enrolled as a coastguard, had money difficulties, recently his father died, and also witnessed a public execution. Despite all these events, Verne was very excited about his work on this new book he was writing, Around the World in Eighty Days, which came across his mind one day in a café while reading a newspaper.
A film adaptation was made into movie directed by Frank Coraci in 2004 with Jackie Chan, Steve Coorage, and Natalie Denise Sperl.
