I genuinely enjoyed this classic short story. Listened to the excellent narration by Tim Piggott-Smith.
I love the idea of its publication - it was serialised to coincide with Fogg’s hoped arrival date.

This book is reflective of the time it was written in - this doesn’t, of course, excuse the attitudes expressed within it. As such, there are colonialist attitudes expressed amongst other references that would be unacceptable today.davbat's review against another edition

This would have been 5 stars for me, but the celebration of British Imperialism, racisim, and orientalism were a no for me
