Summary
Summary
When the precise and methodical Phileas Fogg accepts a wager at his London club to travel around the world in eighty days, everyone thinks he's mad. With £20,000 at stake and his reputation on the line, Fogg sets off immediately with his newly hired French servant, Passepartout. But their journey becomes more complicated when Detective Fix begins following them, convinced that Fogg is a bank robber fleeing justice.
From the railways of India to steamships across the Pacific, Fogg and Passepartout face endless obstacles: missed connections, natural disasters, and even an attack by Sioux warriors. Along the way, they rescue the beautiful Princess Aouda from certain death. As the days tick by, every delay threatens their success, and Fogg must use all his ingenuity and wealth to stay on schedule.
Jules Verne's beloved adventure story captures the excitement of a rapidly shrinking world in the age of steam. This thrilling race against time explores themes of determination, cultural differences, and the power of human innovation, while taking readers on an unforgettable journey across continents and oceans
