This work brings together the famous adventures of Phileas Fogg around the world and the short story Doctor Ox. This short story full of humor, where the author tells the story of the life of a peaceful village in Flanders, which will be disturbed by the invention of Doctor Ox and his assistant Ygene. A fun little allusion, the combination of the two names forms the word “oxygen”. These two titles are followed by four short stories.
