| Publisher Description: One evening, eccentric English Gentleman, Phileas Fogg wagers his entire fortune that he will be able to circumnavigate the world in a mere eighty days, a feat seemingly impossible in the days before air travel. Taking with him his resourceful valet, Passepartout, Fogg travels by train, boat and even elephant, to the far reaches of the planet. They encounter an Indian Princess, kidnappings, natural disasters, Indian attacks and storms, all while pursued by an intrepid detective who has mistaken him for a notorious criminal. Join us in exotic locales, for Jules Verne's action-packed classic adventure novel, across six continents in a daring race against time. |
