Early Jules Verne The Tour Of The World In Eighty Days

The Tour of the World in Eighty Days is a novel by renowned French author Jules Verne, published in English by Wm. L. Allison at 93 Chambers Street, New York. This edition's title page also mentions two of Verne's other famous works, "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas" and "The Mysterious Island" . Originally published in French in 1873, this adventure novel tells the story of Phileas Fogg's attempt to circumnavigate the globe in 80 days. The English title used here, "The Tour of the World in Eighty Days," is a slightly different translation from the now more common "Around the World in Eighty Days." This Wm. L. Allison publication represents one of many English translations that helped popularize Verne's work among English-speaking readers,
