Around the World In 80 Days
by Jules Verne
Around the World in Eighty Days follows the precise and reserved English gentleman Phileas Fogg, who makes an extraordinary wager that he can travel around the world in just eighty days. Accompanied by his newly hired servant Passepartout, Fogg leaves London and begins a race against time. Their journey takes them across continents and oceans by train, ship and other means of transport, while delays, unexpected dangers and mistaken suspicions repeatedly threaten the schedule. Along the way, the travellers encounter adventure, friendship and surprising acts of courage. Fast-paced, imaginative and full of humour, Jules Verne’s novel captures the excitement of nineteenth-century travel and technological progress. Its combination of adventure, suspense and global exploration has made it one of the most enduring classics of popular fiction.
