It is one of Verne's most acclaimed works.

During this adventure, the reclusive bachelor finds love, is involved in mastering various catastrophes place in his path, and spends half his wealth in pursuit of the wager. Meanwhile, he and his manservant are persued by a bounty-hunter who thinks Fogg is a notorious bank-robber. The story involves cliff-hanger outcomes right through to the surprise ending.
