Around the World in 80 Days : 9781619490529

Around the World in Eighty Days is one of the most highly acclaimed works by the prolific adventure and science fiction novelist Jules Verne. Phileas Fogg, a highly precise man who religiously follows routines, finds more adventure than he anticipated when he takes on a wager to circumnavigate the Earth in 80 days. Their encounters with an Asian damsel being prepared for human sacrifice and having their train derailed in North America by Sioux warriors are only the beginning of their troubles. What began as an exercise in routine becomes a race against the unexpected, delivered with Verne's legendary skill.
