Around the World in Eighty Days

Phileas Fogg, a quiet and orderly English gentleman, wagers his fortune that he can travel around the entire world in eighty days. With his French valet Passepartout, he sets off on an extraordinary journey, seizing whatever transportation is at hand—whether train or elephant—while overcoming setbacks and racing against the clock. Jules Verne's classic adventure has captured the imaginations of generations of readers and remains unsurpassed in sheer storytelling entertainment.
