"The reason Verne is still read by millions today is simply that he was one of the best storytellers who ever lived." —Arthur C. Clarke

Phileas Fogg, a distinguished member of London's Reform Club, takes up a wager to circle the globe in just eighty days. Together with manservant Passepartout and a detective named Fix, Fogg makes a fantastic world tour utilizing every means of transportation available in the 1870's. This is a marvelous travelogue mixed with dazzling suspense, delightful fantasy, and lively comedy.

In such books as Around the World in Eighty Days, From the Earth to the Moon, and Journey to the Center of the Earth, he predicted many technological advances of the twentieth century, including the invention of the automobile, telephone, and nuclear submarines, as well as atomic power and travel to the moon by rocket.
