A beautiful unabridged edition with 55 illustrations from the 1873 English first edition.
Don't be fooled by other versions that have no illustrations or contain very small print. Reading this edition will make you feel that you are traveling the world with Phileas Fogg himself.
Called Le tour du monde en quatre-vingts jours in French, Around the World in Eighty Days was published in French and English in 1873. It is one of Jules Verne’s best-known and acclaimed novels.
For a bet, Phileas Fogg sets out with his servant Passepartout to achieve an incredible journey—from London to Paris, Brindisi, Suez, Bombay, Calcutta, Singapore, Hong Kong, San Francisco, New York and back to London again, all in just eighty days! There are many alarms and surprises along the way—and a last minute setback that makes all the difference between winning and losing.
