Pragmatic gambler Phileas Fogg has made a gentlemanly wager to the people of his exclusive club: that he can circle the planet in only eighty days, right down to the minute. Fetching his newly appointed French valet, Fogg embarks on the perfect trip across land and sea - by machine, rail, and elephant - to earn the bet of a lifetime. Influenced by Jules Verne's own sea trips and his fascination with circumnavigating the globe, the serious dreamer's picaresque voyage encouraged generations of adventurers who had been eager to best Verne's concern - from nineteenth-century journalist Nellie Bly to Monty Python's Michael Palin.
