Around the World in Eighty Days
Overview & Summary
Meticulous, unflappable Englishman Phileas Fogg wagers his entire fortune that he can circumnavigate the globe in just eighty days, and sets off with his resourceful valet Passepartout on a whirlwind journey by train, steamship, elephant, and sledge, all while being trailed by a detective who mistakenly believes Fogg is a bank robber on the run.
