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.

Editor reviews

Patrick Tull was a British stage and radio performer known for his ponderous, low voice and facility with dialects, characterizations, and ability to convey the grand. In Around the World in Eighty Days, Tull brings to life Phileas Fogg, that unassuming English gentlemen who makes a bet that he can circumnavigate the globe in 80 days. What follows is a series of adventures and misadventures that captured the exploring spirit of its 1873 audience and thrills to this day. As Jean Cocteau put it, "Jules Verne's masterpiece...stimulated our childhood and taught us more than all the atlases: the taste of adventure and the love of travel."

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!
