Around the World in Eighty Days by node

Phileas Fogg bets twenty thousand pounds he can circle the globe in eighty days. With his new valet Passepartout and a detective who thinks he is a bank robber, Fogg travels by steamer, rail, elephant, and wind-sled in a race against the clock that is also a love story, a comedy, and Verne's celebration of the modern world's shrinking distances.
