Jules Verne

Around the World in Eighty Days By Jules Verne (Annotated) Unabridged Classic Edition "Adventure & Science Fiction Novel"

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. Exotic locales, seemingly insurmountable obstacles, and comic relief provide a fantastic blend of adventure, entertainment, and suspense.
