Jorda rundt på 80 dagar er ein eventyrleg reiseroman. Den eksentriske engelske gentlemannen Phileas Fogg gjer eit veddemål om noko som i 1872 blei rekna som heilt umogleg: å reise jorda rundt på 80 dagar. Saman med den hjartegode og snarrådige tenaren Passepartout legg Fogg i veg på reisa gjennom Europa, Asia og Amerika med alskens farkostar – tog, båt, slede, til fots og til og med på elefantryggen. I eit nervepirrande kappløp med tida møter dei ukjente og eksotiske folkeslag og kulturar, og på heile reisa blir Fogg dessutan forfølgt av politidetektiven Fix, som mistenker Fogg for å vere bankranar. Denne uforgløymelege klassikaren er kjent for si spanande handling, fargerike karakterar, levande miljøskildringar og innsikt i teknologiske nyvinningar. Boka er ikkje berre underhaldande, men og uvanleg lærerik, og blir rekna som ein av de første science-fiction-romanane i vedslitteraturen. Dette er den første komplette utgåva av Jorda rundt på 80 dagar på nynorsk.

Having learnt that a new railway in India has made it theoretically possible to travel all the way around the globe in no more than eighty days, Phileas Fogg, a wealthy and fastidious London gentleman, makes a wager of £20,000 with his Reform Club associates that he can achieve this hitherto unheard-of feat, and, accompanied by his French valet Jean Passepartout, boards a train for Dover the very same evening. Pursued on their epic journey by a Scotland Yard policeman who has mistaken Fogg for a bank robber, the intrepid voyagers face a race against time as they traverse a range of exotic and sometimes hazardous landscapes and make use of any and every mode of transport available to them – including elephants – in order to achieve their goal. A huge commercial success on first publication in 1872, Jules Verne’s classic adventure story has been adapted numerous times for the stage and the screen, as well as inspiring many real-life adventurers who have sought to emulate Fogg’s audacious odyssey.
