"Il giro del mondo in ottanta giorni" by Jules Verne is an adventure novel first published in 1872. Wealthy London gentleman Phileas Fogg wagers half his fortune—£20,000—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. But a determined Scotland Yard detective shadows their every move, convinced Fogg is a bank robber. With rescues, mishaps, and mounting obstacles threatening their precise schedule, the journey becomes a thrilling test of determination and ingenuity. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
