Around the World in Eighty Days by Jules Verne
What would you do to win a bet? In Jules Verne's classic adventure novel, Phileas Fogg bets his friends £20,000 that he can circumnavigate in 80 days. Since £20,000 in 1873 is roughly $2,000,000 today, this daring protagonist had a lot on the line!
In the novel, Phileas Fogg travels from London to Egypt to Bombay to Calcutta and onward, all with the help of his newly-hired valet, Passepartout. While Verne is often remembered for his science fiction works, Around the World in 80 Days sparked imaginations as a possible narrative based in the changing travel technology of the 19th century.
