Features: World Children's Literature Selection. Mr. Fogg made a bet with his friends that he could travel around the world in eighty days. He set out immediately, taking his newly hired servant Passepartout with him. At the time, a large sum of money had just been stolen from a bank, so people suspected Fogg was responsible. Detective Fix trailed him closely, causing him endless trouble. Just as Mr. Fogg, despite all the hardships, was nearing the peak of success, Fix arrested him. It seems he had lost. This is an adventure story set two centuries ago; a meticulous and strict British gentleman accepted the challenge, crossed the vast oceans, passed through ancient Eastern countries, and traversed the wilderness inhabited by Native Americans, overcoming countless unexpected difficulties, and completed in eighty days what humans had achieved in conquering nature. There is something called eternity, like the stars in the sky, the streams in the mountains, and the beautiful fairy tales and stories in your hands. Every book is a classic that you cannot afford to miss in your lifetime.
