About this listen

Undoubtedly one of the most celebrated tales of all time, this is both high-octane thriller and fascinating travelogue. Phileas Fogg, intrepid Victorian gentleman about town, accepts a wager that he cannot travel around the world in 80 days. Naturally, he immediately sets off, accompanied by his French manservant, Passepartout. They are pursued by a police officer, Detective Fix, who is foolishly convinced that Fogg is a bank robber. Much hilarity ensues. On the way, Fogg bravely rescues Aouda, a beautiful Indian princess, from a ceremony of ritual sacrifice. Unexpectedly, our thriller becomes a love story.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

The book speaks for itself really but Bill Homewood produced an outstanding performance throughout and enhanced the experience monumentally

Absolute classic

A fantastic story set in the Victorian world, with ups and downs and a fair bit of sly humour, all conveyed superbly by the narrator, who never fails to keep you deeply enthralled in the plot and the characters.

Pick this up, you won't regret it.

Absolutely Gripping

Well, this book entertained me, the voice actor was awesome!

I like the simplicity of the concept and it’s a nice easy listen. On the other hand, there are some rather questionable parts regarding different ethnicities. I however realise it’s a thing of it’s time, the book can still be appreciated but just be aware if you are particularly sensitive to this kind of issue.

A thing of it’s time, still enjoyable

Loved every minute of this. Narrator is fantastic and really brings the characters to life. I never read this before and I’m glad it didn’t as the audible was so good!

Brilliant

I really enjoyed the book I found the pace of the narrator a little slow compared to other books I have listen to but I think it suited the story. I have seen meny tv versions but have enjoyed this book the most.

steady pace

I liked it all. A very good listen Philias Foggs calm and exacting reaction to the problems that rise up to stall and hinder him.

I loved Verne when I was a boy but missed a few of his books like this one. When my son started to read it, I wanted to go along the story as well so we could talk about it. I tried this audiobook and was immediately taken away by the incredible performance of Bill Homewood. It’s a joy to listen to - highly recommended!

A classic adventure perfectly retold

Absolutely wonderful, and the narrator does a sterling job. Really enjoyed, give it a go!

A timeless classic

I have loved this book since reading it first as a child. It really is a work of escapism and is beautifully written. Sadly it is read in a ridiculously hammy way by Bill Homewood who seems to think it necessary to become a stereotypical "Victorian Gentleman" straight out of central casting. His pompous style of delivery becomes extremely wearing.

Marvellous tale of adventure
