Märksõna Jules Verne

Londonist pärit ekstsentriline leiutaja Phileas Fogg avastas äsja õhulennu, elektri ja isegi rullsuusatamise saladused, kuid viktoriaanlik ühiskond võtab ta hulluks. Tõsiselt tõsiselt võetavaks teeb Fogg väljakutse Kuningliku Teaduste Akadeemia nähtavale juhile Lord Kelvinile imelise mänguviisiga: ta väidab, et suudab maakera ümber käia vähem kui 80 päevaga. Prantsuse kunstniku Passepartouti ja Monique saatel, kes otsivad seiklusi, astub Fogg meeletu rassi ümber maailma, mis viib nad mööda maad, merd ja õhku kõige eksootilisematesse paikadesse maa peal.

Jane's mother dies when she is born, and her father, a rich English aristocrat, soon remarries to a woman with a son, William, who despises his new father and brother. George and Jane grow up with a dream to make a flying machine. George believes the distant Asian sands hold a secret: a mysterious cerulean sand which can make machines fly. He goes on an expedition to find it, and soon is reported executed for treason. William disappears too. After she recieves an unsigned letter holding a handful of pale-blue sand which floats in the air, Jane is sure her brother is alive and leaves to the East to find him and prove him innocent. There are many mysteries to unravel in store for Jane and her new friends on her journey. But perhaps a mystery should forever remain a mystery...

Willy Fog is a British millionaire who bets that he will be able to go around the world in only eighty days.

The plot centres around Phileas Fogg making a £20,000 wager with three members of the Reform Club that he can circumnavigate the world in 80 days. He takes with him his newly employed French valet Passepartout, and is pursued by Detective Wilbur Fix who mistakenly thinks Fogg robbed the Bank of England and is using the wager as a cover to escape capture.

During the Civil War five survivors escape from a prison camp in Richmond, Virginia by hot air balloon and find themselves on an uncharted island in the Pacific. Far from any kind of known civilization, the island is inhabited with carnivorous monsters, bloodthirsty pirates, and mad genius Captain Nemo, who lives on the island for his own secretive ends.

Willy Fog is again challenged by Sullivan and embarks, with his friends, in search of a secret path to the center of the Earth and the depths of the sea.
