Around the World in 80 Days

eBook ( Aug. 6, 2014)
This edition includes 10 illustrations. Despite his reputation as a writer of science fiction works, Jules Verne’s most popular novel, Around the World in 80 Days, is firmly set in a realistic depiction of Victorian England and the Empire over which the island held dominion. Published in 1873, the novel opens with an irresistible challenge: the wealthy PhileasFogg must circumnavigate the globe in 80 days or forfeit a £20,000 to The Reform Club. Along the way there are daring rescues and mistaken identities, interesting descriptions of international cultures in the 19th century, and – of course – the ever-present race against the clock.
