Around the World in Eighty Days
The greatest adventures begin when someone dares to say it can be done
Is something really impossible just because because nobody has ever attempted it?
When the precise and unflappable Phileas Fogg accepts an extraordinary wager to travel around the world in just eighty days, he sets in motion one of literature’s greatest adventures. Accompanied by his loyal servant Passepartout, Fogg races across continents and oceans, through bustling cities, remote landscapes, unexpected dangers, and countless obstacles that threaten to derail his seemingly impossible journey.
But Around the World in Eighty Days is far more than a race against the clock.
It is a celebration of courage, determination, curiosity, and the spirit of adventure that has driven explorers, dreamers, and pioneers throughout history. As Fogg pushes forward against setbacks that would cause most people to abandon their goal, readers are reminded that extraordinary achievements often begin with a simple decision: to try.
Filled with memorable characters, humour, suspense, and a sense of wonder that continues to captivate readers more than a century after its first publication, Jules Verne’s beloved classic remains one of the most entertaining adventure novels ever written.
