Around the World in Eighty Days is one of the most highly acclaimed works by the prolific adventure and science fiction novelist Jules Verne. Phileas Fogg, a highly precise man who religiously follows routines, finds more adventure than he anticipated when he takes on a wager to circumnavigate the Earth in 80 days. Together with his manservant, Passepartout, Fogg makes a breathless world tour, overcoming wild misadventures and finding time to rescue a beautiful Indian Maharani from a burning funeral pyre - all the while restlessly pursued by a bumbling detective called Mr. Fix. Realistically utilizing nearly every means of transportation known in the 1870s, Around the World in Eighty Days generated enchantment with scientific progress - and its delightful mixture of fantasy, comedy, and dazzling suspense has kept it a perennially superb entertainment.
