Rediscover the Puffin Classics collection and bring the best-loved classics to a new generation - including this epic edition of Around the World in Eighty Days.
One night, Phileas Fogg bets his companions that he can travel across the world in just eighty days, and the very next day he sets out from the port of Dover with his servant Passeportout to achieve his aim. Passing through exotic lands and dangerous places, they seize whatever transportation is at hand - whether train or elephant - always racing against the clock. Despite countless surprises along the way and a last-minute setback, that could make all the difference, will Phileas win his bet?
Jules Verne was born in France in 1828 and died in 1905. His collaboration with the publisher Pierre-Jules Hetzel was wildly successful, producing many brilliant novels in the burgeoning genre of science fiction: 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Journey to the Centre of the Earth and Around the World in 80 Days, among others. Verne is the second most translated author in the world, after Agatha Christie and before Shakespeare.
