SeaWolf Press Around the World in Eighty Days (Illustrated First Edition): 100th Anniversary Collection

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.

Having loved the recent Masterpiece Theater interpretation of this classic story, I wanted to read the book. I am not disappointed. Though the story was completely overhauled by talented PBS people, the original is a beautiful period work of art that I am enjoying very much. The Sea Wolf Press illustrated edition is a bonus part of the experience--very readable font (easy on aging eyes) and physically easy to hold, with a jacketless cover that is comfortably tactile. I will be buying more Seawolf Press editions of classics.

The boos is like a dream being fulfilled. I am super excited about it

Great story, characters, pplot, intrigue, adventure. Nothing like modern 'lefty do-gooder' adaptations...perfect.

Un libro muy bonito
