Around the World in Eighty Days by Jules Verne is a celebrated work of classic adventure fiction, travel literature, and world exploration. The novel follows the precise and determined English gentleman Phileas Fogg, who accepts an extraordinary wager to travel around the world in just eighty days, accompanied by his resourceful French valet, Passepartout.

Their journey takes them across continents and oceans by steamship, railway, carriage, and other forms of transportation, with unexpected delays, cultural encounters, and dangerous obstacles threatening their carefully planned schedule. As time runs short, Fogg’s calm discipline and Passepartout’s energy create a lively contrast that adds humor, suspense, and warmth to the adventure.

Blending travel adventure, humor, suspense, technological progress, and global exploration, Around the World in Eighty Days captures the excitement of nineteenth-century transportation and an increasingly connected world. Verne explores determination, loyalty, ingenuity, cultural encounters, and the tension between human planning and unpredictable circumstances.
