Around the World in 80 Days

De: Jules Verne, Anna Lea - adaptation

Narrado por: Toby Jones, George Blagden, Don Gilet, Vineeta Rishi

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.

Sound Effects

The sound effects add a surprising additional element of entertainment. I wish more audiobooks had that!

incredible narration!

the narrators were just amazing 👏 😍 🙌. I got hooked and finished it in one day!

An easy listen and exciting adventure!

A wonderful story, characters, voices. I always enjoy these fictional stories, and find some of my favorites do require 10+ hours even at 1.5x listening speed. For the ones that are 4 hours or less, this will not disappoint! It gives a quick listen/read without needing days to weeks to finish it. I kept looking for small windows of time for “what happens next??”....Well done!

I truly enjoyed this story and was very vivid

It was just like I remembered and was something I would recommend to anyone who hasn't read this book!

Excellent!

A swift and boisterous adventure executed with dash and an amusing undertone. Fantastic work to all involved and highly recommended. Short, engaging summer entertainment at it's finest. Highly recomended!

Better than the movie

Wonderful to hear a full cast tell the story. I loved details that weren’t in the movie version.

Incredible classic

Outstanding listen, incredible book and worth every minute. Will be returning to re listen.

That was fun!

I usually have a very hard time sticking with a Jules Verne story but the performance of this one made it quite enjoyable!

Loved it

I understand that this is not the full version. While I would have loved to read the full version, I totally enjoyed this dramatized version.

An enjoyable Classic

This was a fast moving action-adventure novel IMO appropriate for a family (ages 6-adult) road trip. Around the World was originally written in 1872 so remember that fact as certain events arise (England’s Colonialism in much of the Far East, and Vintage portrayal of America’s Wild West). Minimal Violence, no sexual situations, no profanity. I enjoyed it. The voice performances were among the best I have heard. Light-hearted & fun.
