Passepartout, voulant avant tout pouvoir respecter son maître, risqua quelques respectueuses observations qui furent mal reçues, et il rompit. Il apprit, sur les entrefaites, que Phileas Fogg, esq., cherchait un domestique. Il prit des renseignements sur ce gentleman. Un personnage dont l'existence était si régulière, qui ne découchait pas, qui ne voyageait pas, qui ne s'absentait jamais, pas mème un jour, ne pouvait que lui convenir. Il se présenta et fut admis dans les circonstances que l'on sait. Passepartout -- onze heures et demie étant sonnées -- se trouvait donc seul dans la maison de Saville-row. Aussitôt il en commença l'inspection. Il la parcourut de la cave au grenier. Cette maison propre, rangée, sév&e We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.

About the Author:

Jules Verne was a French writer and pioneer of the science fiction genre through novels like Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, Around the World in Eighty Days, A Journey to the Center of the Earth, and The Mysterious Island. A visionary, Verne wrote about air, space, and underwater travel long before the ability to travel in these realms was invented, and his works remain amongst the most translated, most continually reprinted, and most widely read books of all time. Jules Verne died in 1905 having paved the way for future science fiction writers and enthusiasts.
