Around the World in Eighty Days
252 pages · First published 1872
Precise English gentleman Phileas Fogg wagers that improved modern transportation makes it possible to travel around the world in exactly eighty days. He departs London with his newly hired valet Passepartout and races across continents by train, steamship, elephant, and whatever other conveyance can keep them on schedule. Detective Fix follows because he mistakenly believes Fogg committed a bank robbery, while unexpected dangers repeatedly threaten the deadline. Jules Verne’s adventure combines technology, geography, comedy, and relentless timekeeping in a journey that tests whether a man who lives by the clock can account for everything that matters.
