Around the World in Eighty Days

Can a journey around the world be completed in just eighty days? For the precise and unflappable English gentleman Phileas Fogg, the answer is worth risking his fortune-and perhaps his life.

When a spirited debate at London's Reform Club leads to an extraordinary wager, Fogg immediately sets out on an ambitious race against time. Accompanied by his resourceful new servant, Passepartout, he embarks upon a globe-spanning adventure by railway, steamship, carriage, and every other means available. Yet missed connections, natural obstacles, unexpected delays, and the relentless pursuit of a determined detective threaten to bring the remarkable journey to an untimely end.

Travelling across Europe, Asia, and North America, Fogg encounters unfamiliar cultures, daring rescues, dangerous adventures, and friendships forged in the most unlikely circumstances. Each destination brings new challenges, testing not only his meticulous plans but also his courage, compassion, and resolve.

Blending suspense, humour, romance, and the excitement of nineteenth-century exploration, Around the World in Eighty Days is one of Jules Verne's most beloved novels. A timeless classic of adventure literature, it celebrates ingenuity, perseverance, and the enduring thrill of discovering the wider world.
