Around the World in Eighty Days

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. Around the World in Eighty Days by Jules Verne is a timeless adventure novel that blends precise scientific imagination with thrilling escapades across continents. First published in 1873, this classic tale follows the unflappable English gentleman Phileas Fogg, who wagers his entire fortune that he can circumnavigate the globe in just eighty days—a feat considered nearly impossible in his time. With his loyal French valet Passepartout by his side, Fogg sets off from London, embarking on an extraordinary journey by steamship, train, and even elephant through Asia, the Middle East, and the Americas. The novel captures the excitement and challenges of 19th-century travel, interweaving humor, cultural encounters, and unexpected obstacles—including a relentless detective convinced that Fogg is a bank robber on the run. As days slip away and delays mount, the race against time becomes increasingly perilous. Yet amid the suspense, Verne crafts a story of personal transformation, growing friendship, and even unexpected romance. With its vivid descriptions, brisk pacing, and richly imagined settings, Around the World in Eighty Days continues to enchant readers and listeners alike. More than a travelogue, it is a celebration of human ingenuity, determination, and the enduring belief that no dream is too ambitious if pursued with courage and precision.
