In the spirit of Around the World in Eighty Days, Verne’s 1893 adventure follows a young reporter assigned to cover the Grand Transasiatic Railway, running between Turkestan and China. While looking for his article’s hero, Bombarnac finds himself traveling with a man trying to break the global-travel speed record, a stowaway, and robber-warlords seeking an onboard treasure bound for Persia.
