Fogg's mission is complicated by an incredible case of mistaken identity that sends a Scotland Yard detective in hot pursuit.At once a riveting race against time and an action-packed odyssey into the unknown, Around the World in Eighty Days is a masterpiece of adventure fiction that has captured the imagination of generations of readers and continues to enthrall us today.
