Around the World in Eighty Days

Originally published in 1872, ‘Around the World in Eighty Days’ is an adventure fiction by Jules Verne, a French novelist, poet, and playwright, whose writings laid much of the foundation of modern science fiction. In the story, Phileas Fogg, a solitary British gentleman of the Victorian era, attempts to go around the world in 80 days or less after a bet with his friends at the Reform Club. He travels via train, elephant, ship, and more in this classic adventure. With his French manservant, Passepartout, Fogg embarks on a great adventure taking him through Egypt, India, the South Pacific, San Francisco, and the Great Plains of the United States. But will he succeed and collect on his bets? This is one of the best-loved works by the French adventure and science-fiction writer Jules Verne.
