In a whirlwind of adventure, the eccentric Englishman Phileas Fogg wagers his entire fortune that he can circle the globe in just eighty days. With his loyal servant Passepartout at his side, Fogg races against the clock, facing unforeseen obstacles, breathtaking landscapes, and a relentless detective convinced he is a criminal in disguise. From steamships to railways, and even elephants, every mile brings both peril and possibility. As time slips away, the stakes mount, turning Fogg's wager into an edge-of-your-seat race against fate. First published in 1873, Jules Verne's Around the World in 80 Days captured the Victorian fascination with exploration, innovation, and the expanding possibilities of modern travel. Its imaginative journey reflected both the wonders and challenges of a rapidly shrinking world, as technological progress connected distant cultures like never before. Blending humor, suspense, and social commentary, Verne's novel remains a timeless celebration of curiosity, resilience, and the thrill of adventure.

NYÖVERSÄTTNING, OAVKORTAD UTGÅVA En revolution under ytan Från frizonen i djupen bedriver kapten Nemo ett personligt krig. Ombord på den avancerade undervattensfarkosten Nautilus, lever han ut sin vision om en värld bortom förtryckande makter och orättvisa, en värld styrd av kunskap, teknologi och frihet. Medan Nemo förverkligar sin plan, inser de ofrivilliga passagerarna Aronnax, Conseil och Ned Land snart att kaptenens vetenskapliga ambitioner är intimt sammanvävda med en oförutsägbar hämndlystnad. Motsättningarna växer, och längtan att fly ställs mot fascinationen för det okända livet under ytan. En världsomsegling under havet (1870) är ett av Jules Vernes mest berömda verk och räknas som en höjdpunkt i serien Voyages extraordinaires. Romanen förenar vetenskap, fantasi och dramatik till en berättelse som öppnade vägen för science fiction-litteraturen. Mer än 150 år senare är Vernes visioner lika makalösa – och lika levande – för nya generationer av läsare. För översättningen av denna utgåva står Erik Carlquist och John-Henri Holmberg har skrivit efterord.
