About this listen

From the pioneer of the Science Fiction genre, French author Jules Verne has created a masterpiece of adventure fiction.

Set in 1872, Around the World in 80 Days tells the extraordinary and wonderful adventures of Phileas Fogg and his servant Passepartout, who set out to win a £20,000 bet to circumnavigate the globe in eighty days.

Jules Gabriel Verne (1828-1905) is the second most translated author of all time.

I never realised what a splendid fellow Fhileas Fogg was! This wonderful reading consoled me through a day and a half of flu, away from all the coughing and hot misery of aches into a marvellous world of quiet, unflappable English heroism. And yet at times one laughs aloud.
I remember Corbet Woodall from the black and white newsreels of my childhood. That lovely English gentleman's voice. But he was an actor too and he makes all the characters believable.
I cannot imagine how this extraordinary, exciting, funny and at times moving story has evaded me all these years. I can't recommend this version too highly.

One of the best stories told so well by the narrator - whose style takes suits the story well indeed.

loved it!

I really enjoyed this light hearted novel. As someone else has pointed out, it’s good to understand that this was written from a French viewpoint, so Fogg’s unflustered attitude is part of the parade of the English.

Delightful quick paced story

Entertaining story that also reveals interesting details about the world, travel and politics of the times, through the eyes of the main characters.

Narrator was a perfect match to the story
