Around the World in Eighty Days

When the punctual Englishman Phileas Fogg wagers that he can circle the globe in eighty days, he sets off with his French valet Passepartout on a breathless race across continents. Trains, steamers, elephants, and an unrelenting detective all stand between Fogg and his fortune. Verne’s most beloved adventure is a witty, headlong celebration of ingenuity and the shrinking modern world.
