Embark on the quintessential adventure that has captivated readers for generations.
Step into the polished boots of Phileas Fogg, the impeccably precise English gentleman who makes a daring wager at his London club: he can circumnavigate the globe in eighty days or less. With his fortune and honor on the line, Fogg and his quick-witted French valet, Passepartout, set off immediately on a breathtaking race against the clock.
What follows is a whirlwind journey across continents and oceans, from the misty streets of London to the exotic markets of India, the treacherous jungles of Asia, and the wild frontiers of America. Along the way, they must overcome a tidal wave of unforeseen obstacles—monsoons, sabotaged railways, Sioux attacks, and even a persistent detective who mistakes Fogg for a bank robber on the run.
Jules Verne, the father of science fiction, crafts a masterpiece of pace, imagination, and charm. More than just a thrilling travelogue, this timeless tale is a celebration of Victorian ingenuity, unflappable courage, and the unexpected friendships forged on the open road.
