Around the World in Eighty Days has been a bestseller for over a century, but it has never before appeared in a critical edition.
Each affordable volume reflects Oxford\'s commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, voluminous notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more..
About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford World\'s Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from Around the globe.
Around the World in Eighty Days offers a strong dose of post-romantic reality but not a shred of science fiction: its modernism lies instead in the experimental technique and Verne\'s unique twisting of space and time.
While most translations misread or even abridge the original, this stylish version is completely true to Verne\'s classic, moving as fast and as brilliantly as Phineas Fogg\'s own race against time.
