Publisher's Summary
Filled with fantasy, comedy and grand suspense, Around the World in 80 Days is classic entertainment that is sure to enchant listeners of all ages. When an eccentric Englishman named Phileas Fogg makes a daring wager that he can circle the globe in just 80 days, it’s the beginning of a breathlessly-paced world tour. With his devoted servant Passepartout at his side, Fogg sets off on an adventurous journey filled with amazing encounters and wild mishaps. Pursued all the way by the bumbling Detective Fix, who believes the two travelers are bank robbers on the run, Fogg and Passepartout must use every means of transportation known to 19th-century man - including a hot-air balloon, a locomotive, and an elephant - to win the bet. When Jules Verne’s delightful tale of two globetrotting gentlemen first appeared in 1873, it won the hearts - and imaginations - of readers across Europe. Published chapter by chapter over the course of many months, Around the World in 80 Days aroused so much excitement that readers placed bets on the outcome of Phileas Fogg’s race against time.

Around The World in 80 Days
If you have a mind or passion, for exploration and adventure, then I cannot recommend any book which fits this mould better than Jules Verne's classic, holding a straightforward narrative and goal, where the real action and tension is in an adventure against time to circumnavigate the globe, with the drive merely being to prove that it could be done.

Super racist
The ACCENTS (portrayed by a British dude) and the super racist representation of pretty much every 'exotic' person (read: person of color) that interacts with the British gentleman and his happily submissive French servant are really off-putting. A British gentleman who is disturbingly presented as an ideal man despite treating all of his 'lessers' like *** and literally timing out his soulless life to the tick of a pocket watch... Yeah it's definitely not aged well and the narration did nothing to help that. A love letter to the British colonizers and all the evil they've sewn in the world and in the soul of humanity. It's kinda exciting tho in concept: fly around the world for a bet!
