Around the World in 80 Days. A story by Jules Verne. Translated by Ólafur Kristjánsson.
Around the World in 80 Days first appeared as a serial in the French newspaper Le Temps in 1878. It attracted so much attention that people bet on whether Phileas Fogg would make it back to London in 80 days or not, when it was completely unthinkable that anyone could travel around the world in less than that. Correspondents of American newspapers in Paris telephoned the summary of each chapter to their newspapers overseas as soon as it appeared in Le Temps. It is not surprising that Around the World in 80 Days is still one of the most widely read books, having long been considered a classic of literature. (Cover text)
