Description

Phileas Fogg wagers his fortune that he can circle the globe in eighty days and races railways, steamers, and setbacks with loyal valet Passepartout while a determined detective closes every gap. Obstacles multiply; the clock never yields. Spoken as when around the world in eighty days still asks what will power can buy once the wager already owns the map.

Author

Jules Verne (1828–1905) made curiosity feel like a form of travel. Under the sea, into the earth, around the world in a wager: the marvellous arrives with a logbook. Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas is the cold thrill of a closed world moving through a larger one; Around the World in Eighty Days is speed, manners, and a clock that will not forgive. The books remain among the most companionable ever written for the restless.
