One Invitation To Rule Them All

Jules Verne’s 1873 masterpiece, Around the World in Eighty Days, featured as its hero an Englishman, Phileas Fogg, who set out to circumnavigate the world in eighty days as the result of his laying his entire wealth on a bet made at his London club. Recounting the tales of his voyage by rail and sea via Egypt, India, Hong Kong, Japan and the US, Verne’s novel is a well-loved classic and the gold standard for audacious adventure.
