Beginning from London with his fiercely loyal servant Passepartout, Fogg starts running into trouble at the Suez Canal. While he is battling to stay on schedule in spite of set back after ridiculous setback, he is also being pursued by a relentless Detective Fix, who believes that Fogg has just robbed a bank in London and is trying to make his getaway. From Arabia to India to China, from Singapore to Hong Kong to Japan, across the wide Pacific and the wild West, we follow Fogg's madcap quest, his unlucky but determined servant, his lady love, and the unstoppable Fix, in which they ride the rails, windsurf, rent elephants, and race across the seven seas, winding up in an outrageous surprise on their return to London.

Of course you have to read it knowing that 80 days would be a ridiculously long time--but how often have you been around the world, after all? And if you did, would it be nearly as exotic as the world of 1876, in which Fogg witnesses bizarre religious rituals, acrobatic displays, every kind of scenery, and some silly customs too? Imagine what you would see if you were traveling too fast to see much of anything...the way Fogg does it, you might accidentally see everything!
