Synopsis:
Shocking his stodgy colleagues at the exclusive Reform Club, enigmatic Englishman Phileas Fogg wagers his fortune, undertaking an extraordinary and daring enterprise: to circumnavigate the globe in eighty days.
With his French valet Passepartout in tow, Verne’s hero traverses the far reaches of the earth, all the while tracked by the intrepid Detective Fix, a bounty hunter certain he is on the trail of a notorious bank robber.
Set from the text of George M. Towle’s original 1873 translation, Verne’s adventure novel comes vividly alive, brilliantly reflecting on time, space, and one man’s struggle to reach beyond the bounds of both science and society.
ABOUT VERNE:
Jules Verne (1828–1905) helped pioneer the science fiction genre. His most famous works include Around the World in Eighty Days and Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea.
