Featuring 2 classic Jules Verne stories:

Around the World in Eighty Days: From the moment he wakes up, every second of Phileas Fogg's life is planned precisely. That is, until he puts both his fortune and his reputation on the line by accepting a wager to circle the globe in a mere 80 days. Hop aboard with Phileas and his butler, Passepartout, as steamships, a bridge-jumping train, a wind-propelled sled, and even elephants carry them on a perilous race. Will they make it around the world in time?
Five Weeks in a Balloon: This story documents an apocryphal jaunt across the continent of Africa in a hydrogen balloon designed by the omniscient, imperturbable and ever capable Dr. Fergusson, the prototype of the Vernian cerebral adventurer.
