About this listen

Filled with fantasy, comedy and grand suspense, Around the World in 80 Days is classic entertainment that is sure to enchant listeners of all ages. When an eccentric Englishman named Phileas Fogg makes a daring wager that he can circle the globe in just 80 days, it’s the beginning of a breathlessly-paced world tour. With his devoted servant Passepartout at his side, Fogg sets off on an adventurous journey filled with amazing encounters and wild mishaps. Pursued all the way by the bumbling Detective Fix, who believes the two travelers are bank robbers on the run, Fogg and Passepartout must use every means of transportation known to 19th-century man - including a hot-air balloon, a locomotive, and an elephant - to win the bet. When Jules Verne’s delightful tale of two globetrotting gentlemen first appeared in 1873, it won the hearts - and imaginations - of readers across Europe. Published chapter by chapter over the course of many months, Around the World in 80 Days aroused so much excitement that readers placed bets on the outcome of Phileas Fogg’s race against time.

After recently watching the TV series based on this book I decided to read the book. I knew it was different but there are a number of similarities and the book is really engaging. The narrator is brilliant too and I really was holding my breath to find out whether or not he'd make it back in time!

A surprisingly good read

very well performed and great production.
story is much funnier than I was expecting but the lack of action means it dose drag in places.
but overall I had a good time with this one.

it's much more of a comedy than i thought it would be

The classic adventure story with one of my favourite twists at the end.

Only thing is how much more could’ve been written by the author for each adventure.. probably one of the few examples of film/TV adaptations can go into more details than the original book.

Still great book

My favourite book as a child, read very well by narrator
