Jules Verne was a 19th century French writer known for his science fiction novels that accurately predicted technological innovations such as submarines, helicopters, rockets, and more. In this excerpt, the student provides a chapter-by-chapter summary of Verne's famous novel Around the World in 80 Days, in which the protagonist Phileas Fogg bets that he can circumnavigate the globe in no more than 80 days. The summary follows Fogg as he travels by train, ship, elephant, and other modes of transport between London and various destinations in Europe, Asia, North America, and back to complete his journey within the allotted time period.

2. Jules Verne was an amazing writer who
predicted the science future of the
world. Some of the inventions he
imagined were created later in his
lifetime, but some are still to be
invented. He was popular with all kinds
of readers: rich, poor, young, old,
scientists, artists and rulers. He wrote
over 80 books mostly before 1900 and
a few of the things he described were:
helicopters, modern weapons, movies
with sound, television and rockets.
