This is one of the best book I have ever read. It’s also a fun way to learn geography! From San Fransisco, California to Allahabad, India, follow the adventures of the tranquil, exact, phlegmatic, and laconic Phileas Fogg as, for a bet, he heads around the world in eighty days with his manservant Passapartout. On the way, he rescues the wife of a dead Rajah from an untimely cremation, is pursued by a detective who thinks he is a robber, bribes the crew of the ship Henrietta to mutiny, and still manages never to show emotion! It’s a really fun book with adventure, romance, humor, and much more! A must read!
From the Publisher
Founded in 1906 by J.M. Dent, the Everyman Library has always tried to make the best books ever written available to the greatest number of people at the lowest possible price. Unique editorial features that help Everyman Paperback Classics stand out from the crowd include: a leading scholar or literary critic’s introduction to the text, a biography of the author, a chronology of her or his life and times, a historical selection of criticism, and a concise plot summary. All books published since 1993 have also been completely restyled: all type has been reset, to offer a clarity and ease of reading unique among editions of the classics; a vibrant, full-color cover design now complements these great texts with beautiful contemporary works of art. But the best feature must be Everyman’s uniquely low price. Each Everyman title offers these extensive materials at a price that competes with the most inexpensive editions on the market-but Everyman Paperbacks have durable binding, quality paper, and the highest editorial and scholarly standards. –This text refers to the Paperback edition.

In order to listen to these tapes, you will need a cassette player with balance control to adjust left/right speaker output. Special adaptors to allow these tapes to be played on any cassette player are available through the publisher or some US retail electronics stores. –This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
