HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics.

'Phileas Fogg was one of those mathematically exact people, who, never hurried and always ready, are economical of their steps and their motions. He never made one stride too many, always going by the shortest route. He did not give an idle look. He did not allow himself a superfluous gesture.'

When Phileas Fogg wagers a bet that he can travel across the globe in just 80 days, little does he know about the epic journey that he is about to undertake. With his faithful French servant, Passepartout, Phileas Fogg embarks on the adventure of a lifetime, travelling across four continents by whatever means he can - train, elephant, steam ship - and experiencing endless surprises and mishaps along the way.

Londres, 2 octobre 1872. Comme tous les jours, Phileas Fogg se rend au Reform Club. En feuilletant le journal, il apprend qu'il est possible d'accomplir le tour du monde en quatre-vingts jours. En effet, un article du Morning-Chronicle affirme qu’avec l’ouverture d’une nouvelle section de chemin de fer en Inde, il est désormais possible de faire le tour de la Terre en quatre-vingts jours
