Around the World in 80 Days by Jules Verne (Papilio Classics) Paperback

Jules Verne's wager novel sends Phileas Fogg out of a London club with a deadline and a route around the planet. First published in 1872, the story moves by steamship, railway and whatever else the route allows, using the transport network of its own century as the engine of the plot. Fogg's servant Passepartout supplies the comedy and most of the trouble, while the tension comes from timetables rather than villains.
