Around the world in 80 days

The novel Around the World in Eighty Days is an interesting literary work that reveals important cognitive details, in an amazing literary framework, by presenting the hero, Mr. Phileas Fogg''s journey around the world in eighty days, beginning and ending in London, in the company of his servant, Passepartout, in a literary text. It reveals many traits of the disciplined English personality, comparing it to the pragmatic American personality in the stages of America''s development at this time (the beginning of the nineteenth century). Perhaps what distinguishes this work is its concern for providing knowledge, in addition to providing pleasure. If the novel champions the importance of science, even though it is a literary work primarily concerned with imagination, it did not neglect to respect scientific facts during the process of narrating events. Rather, more than that, it made it a very pivotal role in determining the features of the end of the novel.
