Description

Phileas Fogg, a precise and wealthy English gentleman, finds himself caught up in a whirlwind of adventure that spans the globe. Driven by a wager that challenges him to travel around the world in just eighty days, he sets off with his loyal but bumbling French servant, Passepartout. Together, they encounter a cast of colorful characters and face unexpected obstacles, all while racing against the clock.

As their journey unfolds, Fogg’s unwavering determination is tested by everything from storms at sea to encounters with wild animals and even a touch of romance. Verne’s vivid storytelling captivates readers, transporting them from the bustling streets of London to the exotic landscapes of India, China, and beyond.

Along the way, Fogg's calculated demeanor is juxtaposed with the unpredictable nature of travel. With each passing day, the excitement builds, pulling readers into a tale that is both humorous and heartwarming. It’s a race filled with thrills, mishaps, and the ever-present question: will Fogg make it back in time?

With all this sea talk I feel like I鈥檓 a seaologist! 馃槀Honestly I don鈥檛 know how to feel about it. It鈥檚 definitely not my favorite genre I only bought the book because it looked nice 馃槄I鈥檓 kind of conflicted. I know it鈥檚 a classic but I didn鈥檛 really enjoy it that much. Would I recommend it to someone? NoHowever while listening to the ending I weirdly felt sad. Sad for Captain Nemo. And M. Aronnax鈥檚 last words about him are filled with so much feeling for this man we鈥檒l never truly know anything about.
