Around the World in Eighty Days

In this now classic tale of adventure, Michael Palin follows in Phileas Foggs footsteps around the World. From the opulence of the Orient Express to the stench of a Venetian refuse collection boat, Michael Palin recounts his experiences in a witty and vivid manner, transporting the reader into his often joyous, occasionally chaotic but always exciting world. A wealth of new cultures and experiences combine to make this book a must for any would-be traveller. AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS was originally published in hardback in October 1989 and then in paperback in July 1991. Since then, Michael Palin has written POLE TO POLE and FULL CIRCLE, firmly establishing himself as an intrepid explorer and entertaining travel writer, whose now world-renowned reputation speaks for itself.
