Around the World in Eighty Days

A wager. A race against time. An unforgettable journey around the globe.

In Jules Verne’s exhilarating adventure, the precise and unflappable Englishman Phileas Fogg makes a daring bet: he will travel around the world in exactly eighty days. Accompanied by his resourceful French servant Passepartout, Fogg embarks on a whirlwind journey by train, steamer, elephant, and every means of transport available in 1872. From the streets of London to the shores of India, the jungles of Southeast Asia, the vast Pacific, and the bustling streets of New York, the pair faces storms, train delays, cultural clashes, and a relentless detective convinced Fogg is a bank robber.

With nonstop excitement, vivid global landscapes, and Verne’s signature blend of humor and scientific detail, Around the World in Eighty Days captures the spirit of the Victorian age and the thrill of exploration. Beneath the thrilling surface lies a celebration of ingenuity, friendship, and the shrinking world of the modern era.
