by Jules Verne
Jules Verne's most-acclaimed novel remains a cultural cornerstone to this day. The story of Phileas Fogg's spectacular journey by then-novel technologies is a fast-paced, colorful, and thoroughly enjoyable portrait of the British empire at the height of its power.Originally published as a serial so believable that readers at the time placed bets on whether Fogg would succeed or not, Verne's adventure epic continues to inspire travelers and adventurers even in modern times.
