{"product_id":"around-the-world-in-eighty-days","title":"Around the World in Eighty Days","description":"The story starts in London on Tuesday, October 1, 1872. Fogg is a rich English gentleman and bachelor living in solitude at Number 7 Savile Row, Burlington Gardens. Despite his wealth, which is £40,000 (roughly £3,020,000 today), Fogg, whose countenance is described as \"repose in action\", lives a modest life with habits carried out with mathematical precision.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nVery little can be said about his social life other than that he is a member of the Reform Club. Having dismissed his former valet, James Foster, for bringing him shaving water at 84 °F (29 °C) instead of 86 °F (30 °C), Fogg hires a Frenchman by the name of Jean Passepartout, who is about 30 years old, as a replacement.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nLater on that day, in the Reform Club, Fogg gets involved in an argument over an article in The Daily Telegraph, stating that with the opening of a new railway section in India, it is now possible to travel around the world in 80 days. He accepts a wager for £20,000 (roughly £1,510,000 today) from his fellow club members, which he will receive if he makes it around the world in 80 days. Accompanied by Passepartout, he leaves London by train at 8:45 P.M. on Wednesday, October 2, 1872.","brand":"Boekie.nl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56102505545993,"sku":null,"price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0948\/3685\/0953\/files\/Around-the-World-in-Eighty-Days-boek-cover-9789403812502_d0fdc839-415b-4618-938e-c9ba17cfe834.jpg?v=1781085255","url":"https:\/\/boekie.nl\/products\/around-the-world-in-eighty-days","provider":"Boekie.nl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
