#08-078: Around the World in Eighty Days

etching of a man in 19th-century European clothing in what seems a foreign port, being accosted  by figures in exotic clothing (turbans, etc.) with a ship's sail in the background
Illustration from a French edition of the book
(Gutenberg)

Note: Travel along with the delightful story of an English gentleman's bet that he can circle the globe in "just" 80 days--in 1872!


Get Ready: Do you enjoy travel? Or would you like to? Where have you been? Where do you want to go? Would you ever like to circle the world?
