Around the World in Eighty Days by Jules Verne is the author's most famous adventure, now available in a beautiful clothbound edition.

One night at the Reform Club, Phileas Fogg makes a bold wager with his companions, claiming that he can travel across the globe in just eighty days. Breaking away from the well-established routine of his daily life, he immediately sets off for Dover with his astonished valet, Passepartout.

As they journey through exotic lands and dangerous locations, they enlist any mode of transportation at hand—be it train or elephant—overcoming setbacks and constantly racing against the clock.

About the Author

Jules Verne was born in France in 1828 and died in 1905. His collaboration with the publisher Pierre-Jules Hetzel was wildly successful, producing many brilliant novels in the burgeoning genre of science fiction- 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Journey to the Centre of the Earth and Around the World in 80 Days, among others. Verne is the second most translated author in the world, after Agatha Christie and before Shakespeare.
