Around the World in Eighty Days

Adventurous race against time and societal norms.

If you're intrigued by the notion of a bygone era where travel was a blend of excitement and unpredictability, "Around the World in Eighty Days" will thrill you. Jules Verne crafts a story that's both a celebration of human achievement and a critique of the society's rigid expectations. It's a classic adventure tale that feels as fresh and relevant today as it did in the 19th century.

Description

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, this Modern Library Paperback Classic of 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.
