{"product_id":"2940013058088","title":"Around the World in 80 Days - Jules Vern (Best Version with Original Book Cover) - (Bentley Loft Classics book #26)","description":"Bentley Loft Classics proudly presents book #26; Around the World in Eighty Days by Jules Verne or Jules Gabriel Verne.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe story starts in London on October 2, 1872. Phileas 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 (equal to £2,648,577 today), Mr Fogg, whose countenance is described as \"repose in action\", lives a modest life with habits carried out with mathematical precision. Very little can be said about Mr. Fogg's social life other than that he is a member of the Reform Club. Having dismissed his former valet, James Forster, for bringing him shaving water at 84 °F (29 °C) instead of 86 °F (30 °C), Mr Fogg hires a Frenchman by the name of Jean Passepartout, who is about 30 years old, as a replacement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLater, on that day, in the Reform Club, Fogg gets involved in an argument over an article in The Morning Chronicle, 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 from his fellow club members, which he will receive if he makes it around the world in 80 days. Accompanied by Monsieur Passepartout, he leaves London by train at 8:45 P.M. on October 2, 1872, and thus is due back at the Reform Club at the same time 80 days later, on December 21.","brand":"Emerson Huxley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47176327266544,"sku":"2940013058088","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013058088_p0.jpg?v=1763576350","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013058088","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
