Samenvatting

Around the World in Eighty Days is a 1872 adventure novel by Jules Verne. In London, the gentleman Phileas Fogg makes a wager of half his fortune that he can circle the globe in eighty days. To attempt it, he travels with his French valet, Passepartout, turning the trip into a nonstop test of timing and endurance. Their journey is thrown off course when a detective mistakes Fogg for a bank robber and follows them through multiple countries. As they move across continents, they encounter many obstacles that keep their plan under constant pressure, while events along the way require them to respond quickly.
