One night in the reform club, Phileas Fogg bets his companions that he can travel across the globe in just eighty days. Breaking the well-established routine of his daily life, he immediately sets off for Dover with his astonished valet Passepartout. Passing through exotic lands and dangerous locations, they seize whatever transportation is at hand - whether train or elephant - overcoming set-backs and always racing against the clock.

"The story is good but i was expecting a better quality book for the price. The cover art is painted or printed onto cloth and rubs off as you read. They also put a sticker on the back for the price and taking the sticker off caused the paint/printing to come off as well"
