Around the World in 80 Days, by Jules Verne, is an adventurous
story set before the invention of airplanes. Phileas Fogg, an
englishman, set in his ways, makes an uncharacteristic bet for
20,000 pounds that he can travel around the world in only 80
days. During his journey through 4 continents, he saves an Indian
princess, is mistaken for a criminal and is chased by a
detective with a warrant for his arrest. Will he win the wager?
