When Phileas Fogg agrees on a whim to a bet with his friends, he thrusts himself and his companion, Passepartout, into a whirlwind adventure around the world.
One impetuous bet, a series of adventures, and the most famous journey of all time.
When Phileas Fogg agrees on a whim to a bet with his friends, he thrusts himself and his companion, Passepartout, into a whirlwind adventure around the world. With a persistent policeman on his tail and a large bet at stake, Fogg finds himself using every means of transport and every trick in the book to make it back to London within 80 days. Often imitated but never bettered, this legendary story of a round-the-world journey is witty, fun and perfect escapism.
Part of a boldly designed series of classics, with wider margins for notes, this book is perfect for design-lovers and students alike.
"A true Englishman doesn't joke when he is talking about so serious a thing as a wager."
