Around the World in Eighty Days
About the book
What if you could circle the globe in just 80 days—with only a suitcase, a wager, and a relentless English gentleman leading the way?
In Around the World in Eighty Days, master storyteller Jules Verne delivers one of the most iconic tales of adventure in literary history. When the meticulous and mysterious Phileas Fogg bets his fortune that he can travel around the world in just eighty days, he sets off from London with his faithful valet Passepartout—and a ticking clock.
As they race against time using steamships, railroads, elephants, and hot-air balloons, the duo faces unexpected detours, cultural encounters, and a relentless detective who believes Fogg is a criminal in disguise. This novel is a celebration of curiosity, courage, and cleverness, and a vivid portrait of 19th-century global exploration.
