Le Tour du monde en quatre-vingts jours

Phileas Fogg is the sort of gentleman who makes the ordinary feel extraordinary. A precise, unflappable member of London’s Reform Club, he lives a routine of newspaper mornings, quiet whist games, and immaculate habits that hide a vast, uncharted curiosity. Though his wealth and background are the subject of whispered speculation, he prefers to let his habits speak louder than any story of how he earned his fortune.

When a wager is placed on whether a man could truly circle the globe in eighty days, Fogg’s characteristic calm turns into a daring expedition. Accompanied by his loyal French valet, the pair set out from the familiar streets of Saville‑Row, trading the comforts of the club for steamships, railways and unanticipated encounters across continents. Listeners will be carried along the first leg of this remarkable journey, feeling the excitement of departure while the world unfolds in vivid, early‑Victorian detail.
