Miravista Interactive Review: A very interesting story, even today with the modern means of travel. - A well written translation of the original French. A fascinating travel documentary, even to this day with modern means of transport. One small point which makes me wander wether it was a translators fault or in the original. It mentions somewhere that a ship was sailing at "10 knots an hour" which is a wrong expression as 10 knots represent the speed of 10 miles an hour, hence the expression of "10 knots an hour" would actually indicate an acceleration. Otherwise this is an excellent book, with wonderful narrative by Jules Verne. It is interesting to compare it with the old film with David Niven as Phileas Fogg. Review: Bonitas imágenes antiguas - Un libro muy bonito

Insgesamt eine sehr gelungene Edition eines zeitlosen Klassikers. Klare Kaufempfehlung für Fans von Jules Verne und für alle, die besondere Bücher schätzen.

Why just 5-stars? Make it 10!
There is no room for discussion: This is Jules Verne at his absolute best (but taking nothing away from his other great works). This is a marvelous tale that has enthralled generations of readers and will continue to do so far, far into the future. It is a story of adventure and of how perseverance can overcome seemingly impossible obstacles and, lest we forget, it is also a love story! Brilliantly written by one of story-telling's masters, this journey around the world provides the reader with a magnificent escape and a great travelogue experience.
