Verne's classic novel of global voyaging
One night in the reform club, Phileas Fogg bets his companions that he
can travel across the globe in just eighty days. Breaking the
well-established routine of his daily life, he immediately sets off for
Dover with his astonished valet Passepartout. Passing through exotic
lands and dangerous locations, they seize whatever transportation is at
hand - whether train or elephant - overcoming set-backs and always
racing against the clock.
