Around the World in Eighty Days (Hardcover)

First serialized in a French newspaper in 1872, this is perhaps the most beloved and the most enduring of Jules Vernes novels of imaginative escapades. When Englishman Phileas Fogg takes on a bet of 20,000 from his gentlemens club that he cannot circumnavigate the globe in 80 days or lessan unheard-of feat in the Victorian worldhe sets off, with his manservant Passepartout at his side, on an series of exotic exploits and comic misadventures (Fogg is mistaken for a thief on the run by a pursuing Scotland Yard detective). An inspiration to generations of writers and readers, Vernes fiction remains compelling and thoroughly enjoyable today.
