Around the World in Eighty Days

Around the World in Eighty Days by Jules Verne is a fast-paced classic of adventure, travel, ingenuity, and suspense.

Phileas Fogg, a precise and mysterious English gentleman, accepts a daring wager: he must travel around the world in just eighty days. Accompanied by his loyal French servant Passepartout, Fogg crosses continents and oceans by train, steamship, elephant, and every available means of transport. Along the way, delays, misunderstandings, danger, romance, and a determined detective threaten to ruin his impossible schedule.

First published in 1872, Verne's novel captures the excitement of a rapidly changing nineteenth-century world, where technology, empire, global travel, and human determination reshape the limits of possibility. Beneath its lightness and charm, the story celebrates courage, discipline, adaptability, and the thrill of discovering the wider world.

A beloved adventure classic, this novel continues to entertain readers with its energy, humor, memorable characters, and race-against-time suspense.
