A plain old man, who thrives on being precisely on time, is thrown into an adventure on a bet and is unknowingly chased as a criminal.
A fun little adventure as he shows to be a man of many talents, without fear, and surrounded by devoted friends.

Try as you might, some classics just suck—this is not one of those classics. Imbued with the timeless spirit of adventure, this book is a charming romp around the world. At times, it even reads like a buddy film featuring Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill. However, like many classics, its age is incredibly evident, so take it at face value and let its age inform your experience.

TL;DR: An enduring adventure, a clear classic, and a wonderful introduction to Jules Verne’s work.
