Travel around the world with the perpetually unruffled Phileas Fogg and his stalwart French valet Passepartout in this new "update" of the classic novel's original English translation - 150 years after its publication. Laugh at the ironic jibes and the bumbling Detective Fix, gasp at the high adventure and perilous misadventures, and feel the thrill of haste and ingenuity, but no longer wince at badly aged language and harmful stereotypes. This gentle modernization changes only as much as necessary and retains everything that has made this novel an immortal classic.
