Jules Verne  

Around the World in Eighty Days     



Chapter One, in which a mutual agreement is concluded by which Passepartout enters into the service of Phileas Fogg  ,    ,         

At number seven, Saville Row, Burlington Garden, the very house where Sheridan died in 1814, resided in 1872 Phileas Fogg, Esq.,      -,  ,     ,   1814   ,   1872    , ; a man who, though very careful not to attract attention to himself, was considered one of the most original and remarkable members of the London Reform Club.          ,           -.

Thus, one of the most famous orators who adorned England with his talent was replaced by the aforementioned Phileas Fogg, a mysterious man, about whom it was only known that he belonged to high English society, was well-educated and unusually handsome.  ,     ,    ,    ,  ,      ,       ,      .

They said that he resembled Byron (however, only in his face; ,      (  ; both his legs were healthy), but it was Byron with a moustache and sideburns, a passionless Byron who could live without aging for a whole thousand years.      ),    ,    ,  ,    ,  ,   .

Phileas Fogg was certainly an Englishman, but he was probably not a native of London.  , ,  , ,   ,    . He was never seen on the Stock Exchange, in a bank, or in any of the offices of the City.       ,   ,      . Neither the quays nor the docks of London ever received a ship that belonged to the shipowner Phileas Fogg.  ,       ,      . The name of this gentleman was not listed among the members of any government committee.         -  . Nor was it listed among the bar associations, nor among the corporations of lawyers - one of the "Inns" - of the Temple, Lincoln, or Grey.        ,          ,   . He never appeared in the Court of Chancery, the Court of King's Bench, the Chess Chamber, or the Ecclesiastical Court.        ,     ,    ,    . He was neither an industrialist, nor a merchant, nor a landowner.     ,  ,  ,  . He had no connection with any "The British Royal Society," nor the "London Institute," nor the "Institute of Applied Arts," nor the "Russell Institute," nor the "Institute of Western Literatures," nor the "Institute of Law," nor, finally, the "Institute of Arts and Sciences," under the high patronage of Her Majesty the Queen.         ,    ,     ,    ,     ,    , , ,     ,       . Nor did he belong to any of those numerous societies that are so widespread in the capital of England, from the "Musical" to the "Entomological Society," founded mainly for the purpose of exterminating harmful insects.           ,      ,        , ,  ,     .

Phileas Fogg was a member of the Reform Club, and nothing more.     -,  .

Anyone who wonders how this very mysterious gentleman came to be a member of such a respectable association must answer: ,  ,           ,  : He was elected on the recommendation of Baring brothers, with whom he has a current account.      ,      . This circumstance, and the fact that his checks were regularly and promptly paid, gave him weight in society.     ,       ,     .

Was Phileas Fogg rich?     ? Undoubtedly. . But how did he make his fortune?      ? Even the most knowledgeable people could not answer this question, and Mr. Fogg was the last person to whom it would be appropriate to turn for such information.          ,     ,         . He was not distinguished by extravagance, but in any case he was not stingy, for when money was needed for the implementation of some noble, generous or useful cause, he, silently and usually hiding his name, came to the rescue.    ,       , ,      - ,    , ,      ,   .

In a word, it was difficult to imagine a less sociable person. ,       . He spoke exactly as much as was necessary, and the more silent he was, the more mysterious he seemed.    ,   ,     ,   . Meanwhile, his life passed in full view of everyone;          ; but he did the same thing day after day with such mathematical precision that his unsatisfied imagination involuntarily sought food for itself beyond the limits of this visible life.               ,            .

Had he traveled?   ? It is quite possible, for no one knew the map of the globe better than he.  ,         . There was no point, however remote, about which he did not have the most accurate information.    ,   ,         . More than once, with a few brief but clear remarks, he managed to resolve the endless disputes that were carried on in the club about missing or lost travelers.        ,      ,          . He indicated the most probable outcome of the case, and the development of subsequent events invariably confirmed his assumptions, as if Phileas Fogg were gifted with the power of clairvoyance.      ,        ,       . It seemed that this man had managed to be everywhere, at least in his mind. ,     ,     .

Meanwhile, it was reliably known that Phileas Fogg had not left London for many years.      ,         . Those who had the honor of knowing him a little better claimed that he could only be met on the way from home to the club or back, and nowhere else. ,       , ,             ,   . Phileas Fogg's time at the club was limited to reading newspapers and playing whist.             . He often won at this silent game, which suited his nature so well, but the winnings never remained in his purse, but made up a significant share of his donations to charitable causes.      ,      ,         ,          . It is appropriate to note that Mr. Fogg did not play for the sake of winning at all.  ,        . For him, the game was a competition, a struggle with difficulties, but a struggle that did not require either movement or a change of place, and therefore was not tiring.     ,   ,  ,    ,   ,    . And this corresponded to his character.     .

Phileas Fogg was, as far as is known, single and childless, which happens even to the most respectable people, and had neither relatives nor friends, which is truly rare.  ,      ,        ,      ,  ,      . He lived alone in his house on Saville Row, where no one had access.        -,     . His private life was never a subject of discussion.        . He had only one waiter.     . He breakfasted and dined at the club at precisely stated hours, always in the same room and at the same table, without treating his playing partners or inviting anyone from outside.          ,              ,            . Precisely at midnight he returned home, never staying the night in the beautiful comfortable rooms which the Reform Club provides for this purpose to its members.      ,        ,  -      . Out of twenty-four hours, he spent ten at home - either in bed or at the toilet.            ,   . If Phileas Fogg When he walked, he invariably paced the club's reception room, paved with mosaic parquet, or walked along the circular gallery, crowned with a dome of blue glass, resting on twenty Ionic columns of red porphyry.     ,         ,   ,     ,     ,       . The kitchens, pantries, buffets, fishponds and dairies of the club supplied him with the best provisions for breakfast and dinner; , , ,              ; the club's footmen - silent, solemn figures in black tailcoats and felt-soled shoes - waited on him, serving dishes in special porcelain dishes;    ,             ,      ; the table was covered with exquisite Saxon linen, set with antique crystal intended for sherry, port wine or claret infused with cinnamon and cloves;      ,   ,   ,   ,     ; and, finally, ice was served at the table - the pride of the club - which gave a pleasant freshness to these drinks: , ,       ,      : it was delivered to London at great expense directly from the American lakes.           .

If a person leading such a life is called an eccentric, then it must be admitted that eccentricity is a very pleasant thing!  ,   ,  ,   ,     !

The house on Saville Row was not luxurious, but it was completely comfortable.   -   ,    . Moreover, given the unchanging habits of the owner, the duties of the servants were not difficult.           . However, Phileas Fogg demanded exceptional precision and accuracy from his only servant.            . Just on that day, October 2, Phileas Fogg dismissed his servant James Forster, who was guilty of bringing his master shaving water heated to eighty-four degrees Fahrenheit instead of eighty-six;     , 2 ,       ,    ,       ,          ; and now he was waiting for a new servant, who was supposed to appear between eleven o'clock and half past eleven in the morning.      ,           .

Phileas Fogg sat firmly in his chair, his heels together like a soldier on parade;      ,  ,    ; his hands resting on his knees, his back straight and his head raised, he watched the movement of the hands of the clock standing on the mantelpiece, which simultaneously showed the hours, minutes, seconds, days of the week, dates of the month and the year.    ,    ,         ,    , , ,  ,    . Precisely at half past eleven, Mr. Fogg, following his daily habit, had to leave the house and go to the Reform Club.      ,    ,         -.

At that moment there was a knock at the door of the small living room where Phileas Fogg was.         ,    .

The dismissed James Forster appeared.    .

A new servant, he reported.   ,   .

A young man of about thirty entered the room with a bow.        .

Are you French and your name is John?       ? asked Phileas Fogg.    .

Jean, if you please, replied the man who entered, Jean Passepartout.  ,   ,   ,   . This nickname was given to me long ago, and it proves that I am capable of extricating myself from any difficulty.     ,   ,       . I consider myself an honest man, sir, but, to tell the truth, I have tried many professions.     , , ,   ,   . I was a wandering singer, a rider in the circus, I vaulted like Leotard, and danced on a wire like Blondin;    ,   , ,  ,    ,  ; then, in order to make better use of my abilities, I became a teacher of gymnastics and, finally, was a senior fireman in Paris. ,     ,    , ,     . I have several good fires on my record.        . But it is now five years since I left France and, in order to taste the delights of home life, I serve in England as a footman.     ,     ,     ,    . Having lost my job and having learned that Mr. Phileas Fogg is the most accurate man and the biggest homebody in the United kingdom, I come here in the hope of living peacefully and forgetting that my name is Passepartout...     ,              ,           ,    

You suit me, Passepartout, replied the gentleman.    , ,   . You were recommended to me, and I have good information about you.    ,       . Are you aware of my conditions?    ?

- Yes, sir.  , .

- Okay.  . What time is it on your watch?     ?

Eleven hours twenty-two minutes, answered Passepartout, taking from the depths of his waistcoat pocket an enormous silver watch.      ,   ,        .

Yours are lagging behind, Mr. Fogg remarked.   ,    .

- Sorry, sir, this is impossible.  , ,  .

 They are four minutes behind.      . But that is unimportant.   . It is enough to establish the discrepancy.   . So, from this moment on  that is, from eleven twenty-nine oclock in the morning of Wednesday, October 2, 1872  you are in my service. ,               ,  ,           .

Having said this, Phileas Fogg rose, took his hat in his left hand, put it on his head with a habitual movement and left the room without adding a word.  ,   ,    ,          ,    .

Passepartout heard the outer door slam:  ,    : his new master came out;     ; then it slammed a second time:     : his predecessor James Forster left.      .

Passepartout wasleft alone in the house on Saville Row.       -.



Chapter two, where Passepartout is convinced that he has finally found his ideal  ,   ,  , ,  

Honestly, said Passepartout, somewhat taken aback, I have only met such lively fellows as my new master at Madame Tussauds!   ,     ,    ,    ,      !

It is worth explaining here that Madame Tussaud's "fellows" are wax figures, very popular in London, who, in truth, only lack the gift of speech to be alive.   ,        ,    , ,  ,    ,   .

During a few minutes of conversation with Phileas Fogg, Passepartout managed to get a quick, but attentive look at his future master.            ,      . He was a man of about forty, tall, with a handsome and noble face, adorned with a blond moustache and sideburns;     ,  ,     ,     ; there was not a single wrinkle on his forehead, his complexion was matte, his teeth were impeccable.      ,   ,  . His appearance was not even spoiled by a certain corpulence;       ; it seemed that he possessed to the highest degree what physiognomists call calm in motion - a quality inherent in people who do more than they talk. ,      ,        ,  ,   ,  . Imperturbable, phlegmatic, with a clear, dispassionate gaze, he represented the perfect type of a cold-blooded Englishman: , ,  ,  ,       : such people are not uncommon in the United Kingdom, and Angelica Kauffman wonderfully, although somewhat academically, reproduces them in her drawings.       ,    ,    ,     . In all life circumstances such a person remains the same balanced being, all parts of whose body are correctly adjusted, as precisely calibrated as a chronometer of the firm "Leroy" or "Earnshaw".           ,      ,    ,      . And indeed, Phileas Fogg personified precision, which was clear from the "expression of his hands and feet", for in man, as in an animal, the limbs are the best exponents of his passions.  ,     ,         ,   ,    ,      .

Phileas Fogg was one of those mathematically precise people who are never in a hurry and are always on time, economizing on every movement.       - ,        -,     . He never took an extra step and always took the shortest route.           . Not allowing himself to look around, he did not allow a single superfluous gesture.      ,       . He was never seen either excited or depressed.      ,  . He was the most leisurely and at the same time the most careful man in the world.           . It goes without saying that such a man lived alone and, so to speak, outside of all social connections.   ,      ,    ,    . He knew that in life one is forced, as they say, to rub against people, and since friction slows down movement, he kept aloof from everyone.  ,     ,  ,   ,      ,       .

As for Jean, nicknamed Passepartout, a true Parisian, a Parisian to the core, he had already lived in England for five years as a servant and had been looking in vain for a master in London to whom he could become attached.   ,   ,  ,    ,                  ,     .

Passepartout did not resemble any of those Frontins or Mascarils with a self-confident and cold gaze, who walk with their noses in the air and their shoulders raised, and behave like shameless insolent people.                ,  ,     ,   ,   . No! ! Passepartout was an honest fellow, with a friendly face and full lips, always ready to taste something or kiss someone, meek, obliging, with a nice round head that one would like to see on the shoulders of a friend.    ,      ,   -   - , , ,    ,       . He had blue eyes, ruddy cheeks, so thick that he could admire his own cheekbones;     ,  ,  ,      ; possessing a tall stature, a broad chest and powerful muscles, he was distinguished by Herculean strength, which he had developed in his youth through constant exercise.   ,     ,    ,       . His dark hair was always tousled.      . If the sculptors of ancient times knew There were eighteen ways to style Minerva's hair, but Passepartout knew only one way to manage his own hair:          ,          : two or three strokes of the comb - and the hairstyle is ready. -      .

It was not at all prudential to say in advance whether this impetuous fellow would get on with Phileas Fogg.  ,        ,    . Would Passepartout become the impeccably neat servant his master required?       ,    ? This could only be verified by experience.        . Having, as is well known, spent a rather stormy youth, Passepartout now longed for peace. ,  ,   ,    . Having heard of English method and the proverbial dispassion of English gentlemen, he set out to seek his fortune in England.            ,      . But so far fate had not been kind to him.        . He could not settle down anywhere firmly, although he had already changed a dozen places.      ,     . Everywhere the masters were willful, uneven in their treatment, looking for adventure or frequently moving from place to place.    ,   ,         . This could not satisfy Passepartout.     . His last master, the young Lord Longsferry, a Member of Parliament, after nights spent in the oyster-rooms of High Market, often returned home on the shoulders of policemen.   ,  ,   ,  ,     -,       . Passepartout, wishing above all to preserve the respect of his master, ventured to make him a few respectful remarks, which were not received favorably, and Passepartout left him. ,        ,      ,    ,    . Meanwhile, he learned that Phileas Fogg, Esquire, was looking for a servant.    ,   , ,  . He made inquiries about this gentleman.      . A man who led such a regular life, always spent the night at home, did not travel, and never left home even for a day, suited Passepartout very well. ,      ,    ,  ,        ,   . He went to Phileas Fogg and entered his service under the circumstances already known to the reader.              .

So the clock struck half past eleven. ,    . Passepartout was alone in the house on Saville Row.       -. He immediately began to inspect his new home and surveyed it completely - from the attic to the cellar.                 . He liked this clean, well-appointed, respectable, strict, puritanical house.    ,  , , ,  . It looked like a snail shell, but a shell illuminated and heated by gas:     ,   ,    : hydrocarbon served here for all the needs of heating and lighting.         . Passepartout without difficulty found the room assigned to him on the third floor.          . He liked it.   . It communicated with the rooms on the second and first floors by means of electric bells and speaking tubes.               . On the mantelpiece stood an electric clock, connected with the clock in Phileas Fogg's bedroom, and both pendulums struck simultaneously - at the same second.     ,       ,            . This Its just right for me, its just right for me, Passepartout repeated to himself.     ,     ,     .

In his room, above the clock, he noticed a piece of paper pinned to the wall.   ,  ,       . It was a schedule of his daily duties.      . Passepartout read it.   . It detailed everything that was required of a servant from eight o'clock in the morning, when Phileas Fogg got up, until half past eleven, when he left the house and went to breakfast at the Reform Club:     ,        ,    ,    ,          -: tea and toast at twenty-three minutes past eight, shaving water at thirty-seven minutes past nine, haircut at twenty to ten, etc.           ,          ,        . And then, from half past eleven in the morning until midnight, the time when a punctual gentleman went to bed, everything was scheduled, provided for, ordered.  ,        ,    ,    , , . Passepartout reread this schedule with pleasure and began to learn it by heart.           .
