Around the world in eighty days (Unabridged edition)

Undoubtedly one of the most celebrated tales of all time, this is both high-octane thriller and fascinating travelogue.

Phileas Fogg, intrepid Victorian gentleman-about-town, accepts a wager that he cannot travel around the world in 80 days.

Naturally, he immediately sets off, accompanied by his French manservant Passepartout.

They are pursued by a police officer, Detective Fix, who is foolishly convinced that Fogg is a bank robber.

Much hilarity ensues. On the way, Fogg bravely rescues Aouda, a beautiful Indian princess, from a ceremony of ritual sacrifice.

Unexpectedly, our thriller becomes a love story.
