Phileas Fogg is a wealthy and highly disciplined English gentleman who believes that anything can be accomplished with enough planning and precision. When he wagers £20,000 that he can travel around the world in just eighty days.

Fogg immediately sets off from London with his newly hired French valet, Passepartout. What follows is an extraordinary race against time across Europe, Asia, and America, using trains, steamships, carriages, and even an elephant to keep their journey moving. But their carefully calculated schedule is constantly threatened by delays, unexpected obstacles, dangerous encounters, and the determined Detective Fix, who believes Fogg is a bank robber and pursues him across the globe. Along the way, Fogg and Passepartout encounter unfamiliar lands, remarkable cultures, and unexpected friendships, including the rescue of Aouda, a young woman whose fate becomes intertwined with their journey.

First published in 1872, Jules Verne’s Around the World in Eighty Days is a timeless adventure filled with suspense, humor, exploration, and unforgettable characters.
