Around the World in Eighty Days

Verne's classic has been a bestseller for over a century, but it has never appeared before in a critical edition. This stylish new translation moves as fast and as brilliantly as Phileas Fogg's own race against time. Around the World contains a strong dose of post-Romantic reality and not a shred of science fiction; its experimental technique and unique twisting of space and time make it notably modern.
