Resumen del Editor

Embark on an epic journey in this all-star cast audio dramatisation of Around the World in 80 Days. This new Original drama features best-in-class performances from Golden Globe-nominee, Emmy-nominee and multiple BAFTA-nominee Toby Jones (The Girl, Directorists, The Hunger Games) as Phileas Fogg, George Blagden (Versailles, Black Mirror, Vikings) as Jean Passerpartout and Don Gilet (Eastenders, Dr Who) as Detective Fix amongst others.

One of the most celebrated tales of all time, Around the World in 80 Days is part high-octane thriller, part fascinating fantasy travelogue. Pragmatic gambler Phileas Fogg has made a gentlemanly wager to the members of his exclusive club: that he can circle the world in just 80 days, right down to the minute.

Fetching his newly appointed French valet, Fogg embarks on a fabulous journey across land and sea - by steamer, rail, and elephant - to win the bet of a lifetime.

Inspired by Jules Verne’s own sea travels and his fascination with circumnavigating the globe, the avid dreamer's picaresque voyage inspired generations of adventurers who were eager to best Verne's challenge - from 19th century journalist Nellie Bly to Monty Python's Michael Palin.

Featuring: George Blagden, Christopher Brandon, John Chancer, Scarlett Courtney, Josh Cowdery, Tim Delap, Sartaj Garewal, Don Gilet, Chris Grahamson, David Holt, Ryan Forde Iosco, Toby Jones, Peter Luke Kenny, Naveed Khan, Christos Lawton, Jack Monaghan, Raad Rawi, Vineeta Rishi, Luke Roskell, Richard Rycroft, Adam Sims, Thomas Stroppel, Homer Todiwala, Matilda Tucker, Amy Vicary-Smith, Julian Wadham, Georgia Warlow, Orlando Wells, Sarah Whitehouse and Sam Woolf.

Just wonderful.

Enjoyed every minute. True talent from every participant. And even the score was delightful. Thank you

Fun ride!!

Very good dramatic version of a classic book, that too free!! You go back in history while listening to this book. Children friendly book.

Very well done

If you enjoy full cast recordings or you'd like to listen to one for the first time, then this book is for you. It is a fun book with a really great cast.

Fun Story!

I usually don’t enjoy Jules Verne all that much, but I enjoyed this listen a lot. The voice actors made it really fun!

Great dramatisation

It is abridged book so not everybody is going to be happy. I grabbed this one because I love the story and I have always be huge Mr. Phileas Fogg fan. As far as I remember I have always admired his calmness and stoicism in approaching each and every life/journey obstacle. This dramatisation depicts Mr. Fogg exactly like that. And I really liked performance of each character in this dramatisation. Well done!

If you know the story and want to refresh it, having great fun at the same time - this one is for you. If you just like to have some fun and do not care of reading unabridged book before - this one is certainly for you.

Delightful!!! My 4 hour commute was erased by escaping with these actors into a colorful, fun-loving experience. This is one of my favorites.

amazing group! like old radio stories?

amazing setup really draws you into the story and just fun!! there should be a section just for this narrating group

Fun Adaptation, Dated Subject Matter

This book got off to a very promising start - I had no idea that the whole affair kicked off because of a bet. I thought that was neat, since it was about the biggest possible “um actually” and I hoped he would learn a lesson. But I was wrong - his pride wasn’t a flaw he had to overcome, it was a justification for the whole affair and we’re meant to, at least on some level, understand it.

I knew there would be some stereotyping but for some reason I wasn’t expecting as much colonialism - but I should’ve guessed it, since he passes through India during the British rule, and he’s British, so there’s a lot that’s just totally taken for granted as “good.”

It’s BS that the woman he “saves” from India marries him, and not Jean. Yes, he learns money isn’t everything I guess, but she can do so much better than him.

Also, there’s no hot air balloon? Bogus.

Anyway, it’s fine.

Excellent voice cast!

Super enjoyable, a lovely re-telling with loads of entertainment included. A must for any fan.

such a fun book!

I've always wanted to read this because the movie is so random and hilarious. while they are different, this was so well done! I absolutely loved the full cast and all the music and sound effects. This has been the most enjoyable audiobook I've ever listened to.
