Le Tour du monde en quatre-vingts jours

A man who has never been late in his life bets twenty thousand pounds that he can circle the earth in eighty days. The clock starts that evening. Phileas Fogg leaves London with a new servant, a packed bag, and no interest in scenery. Behind him: a club full of men waiting for him to fail. Ahead: missed steamers, bad weather, borders, elephants, riots, and a detective who is very sure Mr Fogg is not a tourist. Eighty days. One fortune. No second chance. Turn the page — the train is already moving.
