Around the World in Eighty Days
A silent, exactly regulated London gentleman wagers half his fortune at the Reform Club that the new railway and steamer lines let a man circle the earth in eighty days, and leaves that evening with a newly hired French valet. A Scotland Yard detective who takes him for a bank robber follows the pair across Suez, India, Hong Kong and the Pacific, obstructing every connection. Verne's fastest book, and the one that made him rich.
