Around the World in 80 days (Larger Print)
Around the World in 80 days - Larger Print Author:Jules Verne Speed! Speed! And more Speed! In these days of powerful jet airplanes, going around the world in eighty days may not seem to be a hurry at all. Yet, just one hundred years ago, it was barely possible-and not very likely.

And when you add to that the difficulties encountered with savage Indians, a detective who mistakes the traveler for a notorious criminal, and all the other problems of girdling a younger less-tamed world, it turns out to be quite an adventure. Phileas Fogg, the English gentleman, who makes the fantastic trip on a bet, and his French manservant, Passepartout, are lively, contrasting characters-exactly the right partners to give the story its flavor of humor and excitement.
