Beschreibung
On an apparently ordinary day at the exclusive Reform Club, the wealthy and exacting Phileas Fogg makes an extraordinary wager of £20,000: he will circumnavigate the globe in just eighty days. Accompanied only by his new French valet, the reliable Passepartout, he sets off on a thrilling journey. Adventure, chaos and romance follow as the daring pair harness the new power of steam to escape their ever-growing number of pursuers and beat the clock. The exciting adventures of Fogg and Passepartout in Jules Verne’s Around the World in Eighty Days continue to entertain modern readers just as they did Victorian audiences. This edition also includes an afterword by John Grant and belongs to a series of beautiful gift editions of beloved classic works for book lovers to treasure.
