Having learnt that a new railway in India has made it theoretically possible to travel all the way around the globe in no more than eighty days Phileas Fogg a wealthy and fastidious London gentleman makes a wager of £20 000 with his Reform Club associates that he can achieve this hitherto unheard-of feat and accompanied by his French valet Jean Passepartout boards a train for Dover the very same evening. Pursued on their epic journey by a Scotland Yard policeman who has mistaken Fogg for a bank robber the intrepid voyagers face a race against time as they traverse a range of exotic and sometimes hazardous landscapes and make use of any and every mode of transport available to them - including elephants - in order to achieve their goal. A huge commercial success on first publication in 1872 Jules Verne's classic adventure story has been adapted numerous times for the stage and the screen as well as inspiring many real-life adventurers who have sought to emulate Fogg's audacious odyssey.
