Around the World in Eighty Days

Jules Verne's classic adventure of a race to circumnavigate the world in 80 days.

Description

A wealthy man and his valet race against time to circumnavigate the world in eighty days in one of Jules Verne’s best-known tales—now with an arresting new look!

Around the World in Eighty Days introduces us to Phileas Fogg, a quiet, orderly, and predictable English gentleman. Fogg leads a life of routine, reading the newspaper, visiting the Reform Club, and dining at the same time each day. However, this calm existence is upturned when he wagers his fortune on a daring bet: to travel around the entire world in eighty days.

Fogg sets off immediately to prove his point, accompanied by his new valet, Passepartout. The valet's job quickly becomes unlike the tranquil position he expected. As they journey by boat, train, carriage, and elephant through various countries, Fogg's meticulous planning guides them along their route. Yet, even he cannot foresee every delay and danger they might encounter.

Unbeknownst to Fogg, Detective Fix is shadowing the journey, convinced that Fogg is a bank robber fleeing justice. With the clock ticking down, the outcome of this extraordinary trip hangs in the balance between glory and ruin.
