Around the World in Eighty Days by Jules Verne, 208 pages

 The Bet of a Lifetime


1875-Phileas Fogg challenges 19th century Earth, wagering his entire fortune that he can cross Europe, Arabia, India, China, Japan, and the untamed vastness of America-with no plans, no arrangements, and no air travel-in exactly eighty days.

The Challenge of the Century

Fogg must cross jungles, deserts, mountains, oceans; he must save a princess; fight duels; battle hurricanes, blizzards, savages, and fanatics. But if Fogg suffers even one breakdown, delay, or missed connection, he will lose everything he owns...

And he is being chased around the world by a bounty hunter who is determined to stop Fogg.

At any cost...
