Summary
Travel around the world with the perpetually unruffled Phileas Fogg and his stalwart French valet Passepartout in this new "update" of the classic novel's original English translation—150 years after its publication.
Laugh at the ironic jibes and the bumbling Detective Fix, gasp at the high adventure and perilous misadventures, and feel the thrill of haste and ingenuity, but no longer wince at badly aged language and harmful stereotypes. This gentle modernization changes only as much as necessary, retaining everything that has made this novel an immortal classic.
Genuinely funny and duly iconic, Jules Verne's greatest classic will hopefully continue to inspire and delight listeners for another 150 years. The humble adjustments of this edition are meant to benefit this happy legacy.
