A popular adventure novel originally published in 1873, Around the World in Eighty Days is the story of Phileas Fogg and his newly employed French valet, Jean Passepartout, who attempt to circumnavigate the world in 80 days on a £20,000 bet with Fogg’s friends at the Reform Club. In a race against time, Fogg and Passepartout employ virtually every means of transportation necessary to achieve their goal—with a devious detective introducing new obstacles every step of the way. Against a constantly shifting backdrop of exotic and exciting locations—the jungles of India, opium dens in China, a Japanese circus, and a train under attack—Around the World in Eighty Days is an enduring blend of comic adventures (and misadventures) and suspense that continues to enchant readers new and old.
