La volta al món en vuitanta dies és una novel·la d’aventures de l’escriptor francès Jules Verne que fou escrita al any 1872. A la història, Phileas Fogg de Londres i el seu empleat Passepartot fan un intent de circumval·lar el món en vuitanta dies per una aposta de 20.000 lliures feta amb els seus amics del Reform Club londinenc. Les innovacions tecnològiques del segle XIX havien obert la possibilitat de circumnavegar el món ràpidament.

Around the World in Eighty Days (1873) relates the hair-raising journey made as a wager by the Victorian gentleman Phileas Fogg, who succeeds - but only just! - in circling the globe within eighty days. The dour Fogg's obsession with his timetable is complemented by the dynamism and versatility of his French manservant, Passepartout, whose talent for getting into scrapes brings colour and suspense to the race against time.
