DESCRIPTION:
Around the World in 80 Days is one of the Strenna editions that Olivetti began producing in 1972 as Christmas gifts: a series of celebrated literary masterpieces, illustrated using specially commissioned drawings by contemporary artists.
It is inspired by a feat accomplished in real life in 1870 by the American George Francis Train. It tells the story of two men, Phileas Fogg, a typical English gentleman, and Passepartout, his French footman, who are committed to circumnavigating the globe in eighty days to win the £20,000 bet made with the other members of the Reform Club.
