With the heroes of this book, the dispassionate English gentleman Phileas Fogg and his servant Jean Passepartout, the reader will circumnavigate the globe and see what the world was like almost a century and a half ago. Although the travelers are in a hurry to return to London and win their bet, Jules Verne vividly describes the different countries and cities, and the commentary and illustrations reveal so many intriguing details that the whirlwind journey becomes captivatingly interesting.

The shady gardens of Singapore and the bustling streets of San Francisco, the Mormon city and the Indian jungle, the snowy expanses of Nebraska and the wondrous Ganges Valley—on thematic spreads, you can explore all of this leisurely and attentively, learn to distinguish a Brahmin from a Kshatriya, a wigwam from a tipi, understand the structure of sailing ships, examine a multitude of amazing costumes, hairstyles, carriages, dwellings, and temples, and compare the route with 19th-century maps.

Plus:
- All the essential maps;
- Landmarks of three continents;
- A beginner's sailor's guide;
- The goddess Kali in all her terrifying glory;
- A three-dimensional Japanese pagoda;
- Tips from experienced 19th-century travelers;
- A propeller steamship and an American train in detail;
- The game "Around the World with Nellie Bly."
