Around the World in Eighty Days (Collins Classics)by Jules Verne

Eighty days, one wager and a London gentleman who refuses to be hurried set the terms of this journey. Around the World in Eighty Days by Jules Verne follows Phileas Fogg and his servant Passepartout across continents by train, steamer and whatever else the route demands, with delays and obstacles arriving on schedule. Verne uses the journey to show the world as it looked when transport first made such a trip conceivable, and the comedy comes from Fogg's refusal to be rushed or impressed.
