First published in 1873, Around the World in Eighty Days became one of Jules Verne’s most celebrated adventure novels and one of the defining imaginative works of nineteenth-century popular literature. Inspired by the rapid expansion of railways, steamship routes, and global communication, the novel captured the Victorian fascination with modern travel, technological progress, and international exploration.
