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

I’m really fussy with my audio books and as I really like the story, characters, etc. I was a bit apprehensive about choosing this book, but this is honestly the best narrator for this book! Really enjoyed listening, will definitely be a firm listening favourite.

Around the world with a great orator.

The only issue I have with this glorious book is that it is too short.

Perfect
