Jules Verne's Around the World in 80 Days is one of the great adventure novels of the nineteenth century, a fast-moving classic of travel, wager, ingenuity, and suspense. When the precise and unflappable Phileas Fogg accepts a challenge at London's Reform Club, he sets out to circle the globe in only eighty days, accompanied by his loyal French valet Passepartout and pursued by the mistaken suspicions of Detective Fix.
First published in 1872, the novel captures the wonder and velocity of a changing world: steamships, railways, colonial routes, new technologies, and the expanding imagination of global travel. Verne turns geography into narrative tension, moving from England to Egypt, India, Hong Kong, Japan, America, and back again, while making every delay, missed connection, storm, rescue, and misunderstanding part of the clockwork pressure of the journey.
A landmark work by one of the foundational writers of adventure fiction and scientific romance, Around the World in 80 Days remains one of Verne's most widely read books. It is essential reading for admirers of classic adventure fiction, French literature, Victorian-era travel stories, nineteenth-century novels, and the enduring literature of exploration.
