Phileas Fogg is a man of absolute precision. He eats at the same minute, reads the same paper, walks the same number of steps to the Reform Club, and dismisses his new valet for delivering shaving water two degrees too cool. When the club's conversation turns to a bank robbery and a newspaper's claim that the world can be circled in eighty days, Fogg makes a wager for twenty thousand pounds: he will do it, and he will be back in his own armchair on the eighty-first day.
With his resourceful French servant Passepartout in tow, Fogg crosses continents by steamship, railway, elephant, sledge and wind-driven schooner—while a dogged London detective named Fix follows him across three continents, convinced that this impossibly punctual Englishman is the thief. From the suttee fires of India to the auction block of Hong Kong, from a Sioux raid on the American plains to a burning bridge over Medicine Bow, every hour counts, and every delay costs a fortune.
Jules Verne's 1873 masterpiece is the original race-against-the-clock thriller: brisk, funny, endlessly inventive, and still the most cheerfully propulsive adventure story of the nineteenth century. Beneath the steamships and the wager sits a quieter story about a man who bets everything and discovers that the journey has changed him.
Around the World in Eighty Days remains one of the most read and most listened-to novels ever written, and it is the single best entry point into Verne's work. This unabridged edition keeps all thirty-seven chapters, including the famous closing twist.
This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.
