They make it to Calcutta, but are immediately arrested. Fogg decides they need to use the time they have gained to try and save her, and after a number of failed efforts Passepartout disguises himself as the dead prince's corpse and manages to jump up and grab Aouda before they can throw her on the funeral pyre. The group, now including Sir Francis, starts off on the elephant, and after camping for a night they encounter a group of tribal Indians preparing to sacrifice a young woman whose husband, a prince, has just died. In a nearby village, Fogg purchases an elephant from an Indian man and hires a Parsee guide to lead them.
Suddenly, though, the train stops-apparently there is a 50-mile span of track that is not yet finished, and passengers must arrange their own transportation to the next point where they can board a train again.
Passepartout spends much time gazing out the window at the wild jungles of India. On the train, Fogg and Passepartout meet Sir Francis Cromarty, an Englishman who lives in India. He narrowly escapes the wrath of the priests and makes it to the train station in time. He does not realize that because he is a Christian, he is forbidden to enter in addition, he enters it with shoes on, which is also not allowed. While waiting for the train that will take them across India from Bombay to Calcutta, Passepartout wanders off into a Hindu temple, hoping to see some of the city's sights before they rush off again.
The steamer arrives in Bombay two days ahead of schedule, but the arrest warrant has not yet arrived. He follows Fogg and Passepartout on the steamer Mongolia to India, where he hopes to receive a warrant to arrest Fogg as the robber. Waiting for Fogg at the Suez Canal, where he will take a steamer to Bombay, India, is a detective named Fix apparently, Fogg has been accused of robbing the Bank of England. Since 20,000 pounds are at stake, he fetches Passepartout and they head off right away to circumnavigate the globe. While at the Reform Club, he makes a bet with the other club members that it is possible to go around the world by train and steamer in just eighty days, and that he himself can do it. He has recently hired a new domestic servant, a Frenchman named Passepartout. Phileas Fogg is a wealthy man living in London who is part of the Reform Club, an elite social organization. Jules Verne takes his readers on an imaginary journey to pique curiosity and create a surreal experience just as I would like with my designs.Mr. Our desires and natural curiosity are a catalyst and engine for our whole being. These exceptional memories, which we will always carry with us, will lift us and strengthen us. Perceptions, impressions and memories made will shape and change people in their being. These will be presented as well as my illustrations (large scale prints).įor me, taking a journey does not only mean a departure and an arrival but also the experience between those two. The emerged multi purpose prints (large scale prints) were used to create a fabric’s collection and two mediums (seating furniture, balloon) were designed to accommodate the dialog and interaction with the fabric. In my project, I do not only want to showcase a few chapters of the journey but also extend the original pictures and patterns to create an expanded, surreal illustrative world, an extended story line. The close bond between illustrations and people with regards to perception, complexity of ideas and multi purpose applications in different cultures, is in my eyes the bridge to the amazing journey in 80 days. These motifs as symbols metamorphose into a carrier and a protector of a world that tells tales from afar. Subsequently, these pictures were detached from its original story line and placed in to the context of ten motifs. In my work I attach great value to aesthetic design components to narrative and illusionary storytelling. Based on that I have created four individual illustrative drawings, which visualized artistically and fantastically several scenes from the story, for me that meant an extension of reality to a surreal level. Especially inspiring was his belief in progress and his visionary views of the world to come. For me his stories create a gateway between past romantics and a modern world. Jules Verne’s classic novel “Around the world in 80 days” has been my inspiration. The topic of my work is based on illustrative designs.
