Something that everyone should read! September 22, 2006
This is a fantastic tale of adventure that really feeds the imagination. The storyline is gripping, varied and amusing, and I would highly recommend it to anyone. I think it is a book with universal appeal and should feature on every household's bookcase!
Travelling has never been so comfortable March 5, 2004
I really think this classic tale of travel and adventure is indispensable for any decent book collection. In comparison with the dated and crusty translations used in most modern reprints, this new edition contains clarity of expression and lively prose that kept me engrossed in Phileas Fogg’s incredible odyssey around the globe. By reading Around the World in Eighty Days it is possible to recapture that lost sense of travel, characterised by crossing frontiers, improvisation and self-control whatever the circumstances. Armchair travelling it may be, but it is still much more pleasurable than the bland consumption of foreign cultures that most tourists are fed! Simply a great read.
