Around the World in Eighty Days
What's This Book About
Jules Verne’s classic novel, Around the World in Eighty Days, is a true prototype for the adventure story. This new illustrated abridged version captures Phileas Fogg’s thrilling race around the globe in a fresh, modern, and original way. Will he, and his manservant Passepartout, beat the clock and win their bet? Francesca Rossi’s splendid illustrations bring the tale’s many landscapes and vivid atmosphere to life.
