Publisher Comments:
Jules Verne Great excitement and awe greeted its publication in 1873,and today Around the World in Eighty Days remains Jules Verne’s most successful novel.A daring wager by the eccentric and mysterious Englishman Phileas Fogg that he can circle the globe in just eighty days initiates this marvelous travelogue and exciting suspense story.Together with his manservant,Passepartout,Fogg makes a breathless world tour,overcoming wild misadventures and finding time to rescue a beautiful Indian maharani from a burning funeral pyre—all the while restlessly pursued by a bumbling detective called Mr.Fix.Realistically utilizing nearly every means of transportation known in the 1870s,Around the World in Eighty Days generated enchantment with scientific progress—and its delightful mixture of fantasy,comedy,and dazzling suspense has kept it a perennially superb entertainment.
From School Library Journal
Grade 6 Up?To most modern kids,classics may be great,worthy,even exciting stories,but they were written in and for their own times and the context can sometimes be obscure.Using the visually irresistible printing techniques popularized by the "Eyewitness" series,these two books,when prominently displayed,will probably attract more impulse readers than some of the dustier editions.But do they accomplish their stated aim?Direct textual illustration is plentiful,lively,and useful.The reproductions of prints,photographs,and maps that pepper each page and are intended to enhance readers' grasp of the times,however,are a mixed success.There is a sameness to them and an arbitrary feel to their use.Pirate buffs will find Treasure Island's variety of ship drawings,details of sailing minutiae,and photographs of pieces of eight or guns and swords quite satisfying.Verne's work is less enhanced by its graphics.This episodic travelogue would be best served by lots of clear maps with the route well marked.But the few maps shown are so small that the legends are unreadable and country and city names are blurred.Limitations aside,the initial appeal of this fresh approach may serve to attract some new readers to these enduring stories that have managed without any help for this long.Sally Margolis,formerly at Deerfield Public Library,IL

On a wager with his chums at the Reform Club,Phileas Fogg attempts the trip described in the title of this classic adventure novel.Burton does a fine job reading this skillful abridgment,changing voices effectively and pacing himself well.Classical music is used as an effective bridge between chapters.Superior liner notes include a chapter outline,a brief biographical sketch of Verne and a list of the music used in the program.P.B.J.
About the Author
Jules Verne was born into a family with a seafaring tradition in Nantes,France in 1828.Verne was sent to Paris to study law,but once there,he quickly fell in love with the theater.He was soon writing plays and opera librettos,and his first play was produced in 1850.When he refused his father's entreaties to return to Nantes and practice law,his allowance was cut off,and he was forced to make his living by selling stories and articles.Soon he was turning out imaginative stories such as Five Weeks in a Balloon (1863),Journey to the Center of the Earth (1864),and From the Earth to the Moon (1865),which were immensely popular all over the world.His ability to envision the next stage in man's technological progress produced 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1870) and Michael Strogoff (1876).His biggest success came with Around the World in Eighty Days (1872).Verne's books made him famous and rich.In 1876,he bought a large steam yacht in which he could write more comfortably than on shore.His books were widely translated,dramatized,and later filmed.He died in Amiens in 1905.
