Adro dhe’n Bÿs in Peswar Ugans Dëdh

LE TOUR DU MONDE EN QUATRE-VINGTS JOURS

(AROUND THE WORLD IN EIGHTY DAYS)

“I wager twenty thousand pounds that I shall go around the earth in eighty days or less." Thus on an October evening, 1872, Phileas Fogg made a bet with his companions in the London Reform Club. And the English gentleman thereupon departed with his servant Passepartout! Many are the dangers which await them on their road, taking them through India, China, and the United States ... Throughout this extraordinary journey, Jules Verne, the great visionary writer (1828-1905), entrances us with a tale full of obstacles and surprises. The Cornish edition has been abridged for young readers. The translator, Kaspar Hocking, was born in January 1913 in London, and retired to Polwhevral in 1969. He was Chairman of Agan Tavas, 1996-1998.
