In the beginning, Jules Verne takes us to Savile Row, London in the distant year of 1872. When Jules Verne is involved, you have to prepare yourself for a big dose of adventure, excitement and a lot of funny moments. At first sight everything looks normal, but when you read on the cover that Jules Verne is the author, you forget about a peaceful journey. What happens when a rich man who believes in the extraordinary, a valet who is looking for a peaceful life and a bunch of gamblers get together in one place? Guess…a bet of course! What could be more interesting than a bet in which travelling, money, chases and the most exciting thing, an adventure, are involved? During the following few minutes you will read about the book A round the World in 80 Days where Phileas Fogg and his valet Passpepartout go around the world in 80 days.
