I see that it is by no means useless to travel, if a man wants to see something new. - Passepartout

Departing from London on 2 October, they must return by 21 December to secure the winnings, which amounts to half of Fogg's total fortune.

This perception however has slowly changed and he has taken his rightful place in French literature. With his genius now recognized his influence has been felt by those in scientific and literary fields alike.
