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

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
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 Verne's classic, moving as fast and as brilliantly as
Phineas Fogg's 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 Verne's unique twisting of space and time.
