Around the World in Eighty Days: The Extraordinary Journeys (The AWorld's Classics)

About this book

Around the World in Eighty Days has been a bestseller for over a century but it has never before appeared in a critical edition. While most translations misread or even abridge the original this stylish new version is completely true to Vernes classic moving as fast and as brilliantly as Phineas Foggs own race against time. Around the World in Eighty Days offers a strong dose of post-romantic reality but not a shred of science fiction: its modernism lies instead in the experimental technique and Vernes unique twisting of space and time.
