Having learnt that a new railway in India has made it theoretically
possible to travel all the way around the globe in no more than
eighty days, Phileas Fogg, a wealthy and fastidious London
gentleman, makes a wager of £20,000 with his Reform Club
associates that he can achieve this hitherto unheard-of feat, and,
accompanied by his French valet Jean Passepartout, boards a train
for Dover the very same evening. Pursued on their epic journey by a
Scotland Yard policeman who has mistaken Fogg for a bank robber,
the intrepid voyagers face a race against time as they traverse a
range of exotic and sometimes hazardous landscapes and make use of
any and every mode of transport available to them – including
elephants – in order to achieve their goal. A huge commercial
success on first publication in 1872, Jules Verne’s classic
adventure story has been adapted numerous times for the stage and
the screen, as well as inspiring many real-life adventurers who
have sought to emulate Fogg’s audacious odyssey. Now presented in
a brand-new translation.
