Eighty Days adventure but this novel tells the other side. Diaries found and translated in the Fogg home many years later, went on to fill in the gaps and even correct some mistakes in Verne's take on the events. First off, Phileas Fogg was no ordinary man and neither was his assistant and sidekick Passepartout. They were both Eridanean, one of two groups of warring alien species that have lived among us for a long, long time. Also, Fogg's adventure was not a mere bet to prove a point but actually an excuse to go to India and stop a very dangerous man. Actually, not a man but another very dangerous alien, one Fogg has fought before, one by the name of Captain Nemo.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: inherit;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: inherit;\"\u003EI am sorry to say I really struggled with most of this book. There are no real character descriptions to make you warm to anyone, therefore all tension and emotion was lost. There is the use of words such as Eridanean (as mentioned earlier) that are given no meaning or explanation until about forty pages in. At which point I had already tried Googling certain words to find out meanings and was left feeling rather lost. Jumps in the style of situation could also be a tad strange, in one life and death scene, enemies seemed to sit back and have an in-depth discussion on a boat about the people who were there before them. Jolting, strange and completely tension killing.\u0026nbsp; Towards the end, it starts to pick up and I ended up very much enjoying the final act of the story as the characters were given some depth and the plot seemed to flow.

In 1872 he was said to be about forty years of age, and so he was. But the Eridanean elixir does not affect its work until the body is about forty years old, and then it rapidly takes hold. Today, Fogg would look as if he had aged perhaps a year or two, if he is still alive. The chances are that he is alive and well somewhere in England. Can anyone point to a gravestone on which is carved his name, the date of his birth, 1832, followed by the date of his death? They cannot.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"TitanIndentPara\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: inherit;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: Calibri;\"\u003EMr Fogg was tall and well-shaped and had a handsome face, which is to be expected from one who so closely resembles Byron. His hair and whiskers were light, which may mean in Vernese that he was blond or had light brown hair. The colour of his eyes is not mentioned by Verne. A Scotland Yard report, however, still available to the researcher who is diligent enough to dig for it, gives them as dark grey.

His teeth, unlike the typical Englishman’s of that day, were magnificent. He had lost none to the dental decay which afflicted the people of Albion in the mid-nineteenth century. This quality, like the grey eyes, seems to have been a genetic factor. On the other hand, since he was given a number of elixirs during his childhood, the dental health may have resulted from a drug which originated light-years and millennia away.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"TitanIndentPara\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: inherit;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: Calibri;\"\u003EAt the time this story opens, Wednesday, 2 October 1872, Mr Fogg seemed to have no relatives. He lived at No. 7, Savile Row, where the only other occupant was his valet. He had acquaintances but no close friends. His sole recreations were the walk from his house to the Reform Club, reading the newspapers, and playing whist. According to Verne, he had been living like a pendulum on a clock for many years. Actually, the “many years” were only four, from 1868 to 1872. But his presence was so full of “thereness” that people thought of him as an old fixture, like the milk wagon or even a house.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"TitanIndentPara\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: inherit;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: Calibri;\"\u003EFogg demanded that his shaving water be exactly at 86\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: Calibri;\"\u003E°\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: Calibri;\"\u003E Fahrenheit. On this morning, his man, James Forster, appeared at the right time with the water, at thirty-seven minutes past nine.

Ten minutes later, Forster would remove these.

Between his departure and arrival, his servant had little to do. He did have to clean up a little, arrange for a cleaning woman to come in once a week, ensure that his master’s clothes were cleaned and pressed, the beds made, pay a few bills, and so on.

But his serene expression changed only slightly. His eyebrows raised as if they were a pair of wings reluctantly flapped by a bird accustomed to gliding all its life. Then the eyebrows came down, and Fogg said, in a voice which was cold but not outraged, “You will leave as soon as I have acquired a new valet.

His spine was straight; his shoulder blades were firmly pressed against the back of the chair. His feet were close together. His hands were placed palm down on his knees. His eyes were fixed upon a large clock across the room. This instrument indicated not only the customary seconds, minutes, and hours, but the day, month, and year. He did not move except for the rise and fall of chest associated with every living mammal, even Mr Fogg, when he is breathing normally, and for the blinking of the eyelids. Despite what is said about the unblinking gaze of villains in the penny dreadfuls of 1872 or 1972, no one with eyesight can do without blinking. The results are too painful. And so Mr Fogg blinked, as he would have voluntarily done even if he had not been naturally required to do so.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv class=\"TitanIndentPara\" style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: inherit;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: Calibri;\"\u003EHe doubted that there were any concealed spies, human or mechanical, in the house, but it was possible.

Two, though he lived quietly, he did so conspicuously. There were few aware of his existence, but these few were very aware. His very standingoutness, however, was the quality to allay the suspicions of the enemy. They would believe that their enemies would be doing all they could to appear normal, to merge into the human herd.

No, just as Forster’s introduction of Passepartout was a slip on his part, so Fogg’s comment on the recommendation was his slip. The question is, were these slips intentionally made to affect the hypothetical hidden observer in a certain fashion? If the unforeseen truly did not exist for Fogg, would he have slipped? And if Fogg made a mistake on purpose, then it’s safe to presume that Forster did so, too.

Forster had checked him with certain passphrases at the agency. The bit about Passepartout’s watch being slow had been another method of identification. In addition, the Frenchman’s name had indicated his function, and the “enormous” watch was so large because it contained more than a timepiece. Mr Fogg’s taking his hat with his left hand had been the final signal, since he was right-handed. If he were left-handed, he would have used the right.
