Around the World in Eighty Days

To take on the bet—to go around the world in eighty days faster than anyone had gone before—was madness. If Phileas Fogg missed a single connection, he would lose £20,000.

Phileas was an eccentric Englishman who lived a quiet ordered life and believed that, with technology and planning, nothing was unforeseeable. But he could not plan for the ebullient nature of his French servant, for the adventures that crop up on their journey across the globe, and for the utterly unexpected collision with romance.

The humor and freshness of Verne’s writing—vivid dispatches from a newly accessible world—make Around The World In Eighty Days an ideal subject for an audiobook.
