The Tour of the World in Eighty Days by Jules Verne: Around the World in 80 Days

This is an antique copy of "The Tour of the World in Eighty Days" by JULES VERNE. (Also known as "Around the World in Eighty Days.") Circa 1890's (there is no date of publication stated); F.M. Lupton Publishing Co. "Stratford Edition"; New York. From a review: "Although we live in an age when round-the-world travel is possible in hours rather than weeks, Jules Verne's tale of a race against the clock has never lost its power to thrill. Set in 1872, Mr. Phileas Fogg, a gentleman of precision and predictability, and his manservant, the ever resourceful Passepartout, ride through India on an elephant, sail the South China Sea in the teeth of a typhoon, and cross the snow-covered plains of the Wild West in order to fulfill a wager that the journey can be completed in just 80 days. But Phileas Fogg is above all a gentleman, and stopping to save the life of a beautiful young widow may have cost him his fortune. The ill-assorted but determined trio have to use all of their ingenuity and some remarkable vehicles to race back to London. Will they make it in time?"
