Synopsis "Around the world in eighty days (1873) by Jules Verne (Illustrated): (Original Classics)"

The resourceful Fogg faces each new trial with unshakable aplomb, through a constantly shifting background of exotic locales - from the jungles of India, a Chinese opium den, and a Japanese circus to a full-throttle train ride under attack by Sioux and a bloodless mutiny aboard a tramp steamer. The most popular of Jules Verne's fantastic adventure stories, Around the World in Eighty Days first appeared as a newspaper serial in 1872, much to the delight of a world already agog with recent advances in technology. Its enduring blend of comic misadventures and thrilling suspense continues to enchant generations of readers.
