[Bill L · Rating 4 out of 5]

A free version on Kindle in the original French. Interesting view of the world in 1872. Phileas Fogg is the extreme of the stereotypical unemotional Englishman. Interesting to think about why a Frenchman would choose to write about such an Englishman as a central character.
