Around the World in 80 Days is a classic adventure novel by the French author Jules Verne, published in 1873. This novel is widely acclaimed and considered one of Verne's greatest works.

In the novel, rich British gentleman Phileas Fogg and his French Valet Passepartout try to circumnavigate the world in 80 days to win the £20,000 wager (equal to about £2 million in modern terms) put up by Fogg's friends at the Reform Club. They leave from London by train at 8:45 P.M. on October 2; in order to win the wager, Fogg must return to the club by this hour on December 21, 80 days later. In Egypt, Fogg is mistaken for a bank robber by Scotland Yard detective Fix and is thereafter followed by Fix. In each leg of the journey, Fogg and Passepartout have frustrating, exciting, and sometimes dangerous encounters that threaten to prevent them from completing the trip on time.
