A Classic Overland Travelogue Recreating Phileas Fogg's Circumnavigation Without Aircraft

Actor and writer Michael Palin attempts to recreate Jules Verne's fictional journey, traveling around the globe in eighty days strictly without using commercial aircraft. Departing from the Reform Club in London, Palin relies on trains, cargo ships, dhows, ocean liners, and automobiles.

His travelogue documents the logistical challenges and human encounters along a route spanning Venice, the Suez Canal, Bombay, Madras, Singapore, Hong Kong, Guangzhou, Shanghai, Yokohama, and across the Pacific to America. Palin records the changing landscapes and maritime rhythms of global travel prior to modern air dominance.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Michael Palin delivers a witty, engaging account of surface-level global travel. A landmark travelogue for fans of overland journeys, British humor, and international travelogues.
