Al pari degli altri romanzo di Verne anche Questo merita il suo posto tra i grandi classici. In un volume relativamente breve (230 pagine circa) vengono delineati 3 personaggi ad hoc, raccontate vicende interessanti tutte condite con avventura e risate.
Finalmente so com’è davvero la storia del signor Phileas Fogg❣️

What a great book!! Adventure! Suspense! Humor! Romance! I expected this to be dry and full of dull detail like most 19th century authors, but this was such a ride! (Had Verne been a modern writer, he most assuredly made Aouda a ninja! But he can be forgiven for that.) I can't wait to read this aloud to my kids and map Fogg's journey from beginning to end!

DID NOT FINISH: 43%
As much as I like reading old classics that may have aged poorly, it started to get painfully racist. Struggled to have the motivation to pick it up and continue, however I might finish it in the future.

A premise as anachronistic as its racist orientalism. But the spirit of imagination from the 19th century is reason enough of love Jules Verne forever.
