"Round the World in Eighty Days" by Jules Verne is an adventure novel published in 1872. Phileas Fogg, a wealthy English gentleman, wagers half his fortune that he can circumnavigate the globe in exactly eighty days. Accompanied by his French valet Passepartout, Fogg races against time across continents by train, steamer, and elephant. Along the way, they rescue a young woman, evade a determined detective, and face numerous obstacles that threaten their precise schedule and the substantial wager.
