Make room on your shelf for the ultimate race against time. When the impeccably punctual English gentleman Phileas Fogg wagers that he can circle the globe in just eighty days, he launches one of literature’s most exhilarating adventures. With his big-hearted valet Passepartout in tow—and a suspicious detective Fix never far behind—Fogg sprints from London’s Reform Club through the Suez, India, Hong Kong, Japan, and across the American frontier, battling storms, missed connections, and impossible odds.
This reader-friendly edition pairs Verne’s crisp, fast-moving prose with 20 evocative illustrations, turning timetables, steamers, and railways into a vivid world tour you can see and feel. Beyond the thrills, you’ll discover a story about discipline meeting daring—and how a calculated wager can awaken the heart.
