Product Information
From the Publisher
The most popular of Jules Verne's fantastic adventure stories, Around the World in Eighty Days first appeared as a newspaper serial in 1872
Jules Verne (8 February 1828 - 24 March 1905)
One of the most translated authors in the world, Jules Verne is best known for his classics, Journey to the Center of the Earth, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, and Around the World in Eighty Days.
“Anything one man can imagine, other men can make real.”
“The chance which now seems lost may present itself at the last moment.”
“It's really useful to travel, if you want to see new things."
Its enduring blend of comic misadventures and thrilling suspense continues to enchant generations of readers.
The eccentric English gentleman Phileas Fogg accepts a challenge to circle the globe in no more than 80 days — an incredible feat for the Victorian age. Exotic locales, seemingly insurmountable obstacles, and comic relief (chiefly supplied by Fogg's loyal valet, Passepartout) provide a fantastic blend of adventure, entertainment, and suspense.
