আশি দিনে বিশ্বভ্রমণ

Phileas Fogg, a calm gentleman of London, bets that the earth can be circled in eighty days, using the transport of his age: trains, steamships, even an elephant. Accompanied by Passepartout, a resourceful French valet, he must get through delays, bad weather and the persistent Inspector Fix, who suspects him of theft. Along the way they save the Indian princess Aouda. Jules Verne's 1873 novel turns the shrinking world of the Industrial Age into a sporting contest.

A lively adventure for readers of all ages who enjoy quick travel and clever twists. It is also a fine reminder of how different travel was.

Outward-looking, clear-cut and escapist; a moderate read.

Best for readers like The Curious Generalist. Which reader are you?
