Le Tour du monde en 80 jours

Phileas Fogg, an English gentleman who lives by the clock, bets half his fortune that he can travel around the world in eighty days, and sets off that same evening with his new servant Passepartout. From London to Suez, India, Hong Kong, Japan and San Francisco, they change from steamer to train, and even ride an elephant across the Indian jungle. On their heels is Inspector Fix, convinced that Fogg is a bank robber on the run, who does all he can to delay them. A race against the clock, in short chapters, with an ending that still surprises.
