Bored with inactivity following the end of the Civil War, the fanatical members of the American Gun Club in Baltimore look for a project to fulfill their passion for rearms. Their distinguished President, Impey Barbicane, proposes an exciting new endeavor - one that will cement their names in history: They will build the largest projectile ever known to man and shoot it at the moon!

Based on the true story of Alexander Selkirk, who survived alone for almost five years on an uninhabited island off the coast of Chile, The Mysterious Island is considered by many to be Jules Verne’s masterpiece. “Wide-eyed mid-nineteenth-century humanistic optimism in a breezy, blissfully readable translation by Stump” (Kirkus Reviews), here is the enthralling tale of five men and a dog who land in a balloon on a faraway, fantastic island of bewildering goings-on and their struggle to survive....

Story
Jules Verne achieved a triumph when his imagination, fired by Rudolph Wyss’ The Swiss Family Robinson was impelled to carry the story a step farther in The Castaways of the Flag. An island was ever his spiritual home; and no one was ever happier upon one. The Castaways of the Flag is a satisfactory sequel to The Swiss Family Robinson because it is the production of Jules Verne, an original genius, set in motion by Rudolph Wyss. Wherever The Swiss Family Robinson is heard, The Castaways of the Flag should also be heard.

This, the first in the splendid series of Jack Aubrey novels, establishes the friendship between Captain Aubrey, Royal Navy, and Stephen Maturin, ship's surgeon and intelligence agent, against the thrilling backdrop of the Napoleonic wars. Details of life aboard a man-of-war in Nelson's navy are faultlessly rendered: the conversational idiom of the officers in the ward room and the men on the lower deck, the food, the floggings, the mysteries of the wind and the rigging, and the road of broadsides as the great ships close in battle.

The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

Publisher's Summary
Filled with fantasy, comedy and grand suspense, Around the World in 80 Days is classic entertainment that is sure to enchant listeners of all ages. When an eccentric Englishman named Phileas Fogg makes a daring wager that he can circle the globe in just 80 days, it’s the beginning of a breathlessly-paced world tour. With his devoted servant Passepartout at his side, Fogg sets off on an adventurous journey filled with amazing encounters and wild mishaps. Pursued all the way by the bumbling Detective Fix, who believes the two travelers are bank robbers on the run, Fogg and Passepartout must use every means of transportation known to 19th-century man - including a hot-air balloon, a locomotive, and an elephant - to win the bet. When Jules Verne’s delightful tale of two globetrotting gentlemen first appeared in 1873, it won the hearts - and imaginations - of readers across Europe. Published chapter by chapter over the course of many months, Around the World in 80 Days aroused so much excitement that readers placed bets on the outcome of Phileas Fogg’s race against time.

We Cheered at the End!
My kids (ages 10 and 6) listened to this book together. We enjoyed it thoroughly! Patrick Tull's characterizations were impeccable, especially that of the French servant. I found myself very involved in the story, and looking for every opportunity to turn it on.
For parents who might be selecting this for your children, be aware that the language is difficult to understand at times due to the more formal style of the unabridged text. My daughter (age 6) had a tough time understanding some of the syntax, but a third of the way through or so she seemed to adjust to it and was able to follow the story much better. She enjoyed the story very much, and when it ended all three of us literally cheered!

A Classic Not To Be Missed!
Thrilling and charming adventure. This was a sheer delight and I am at a loss as to why I have not read this book earlier. Delightful in every sense of the word. Endearing characters and pure escapism. The performance by Patrick Tull was sublime. He was perfect. The tension and excitement he created were spine-chilling at times. One of my favourite books and I have listened to it twice already. Fabulous!!!!

BUT THIS!
I believe there'll be many who may react strongly to this but I think many of classic literature are not as fun to read as some of modern titles. But it is so for me. I can't help thinking this way.
So I tend to be very selective when I choose "classics."
And when it comes to "Around the World in 80 Days," I do recommend it with two thumbs up (four thumbs up if I've had another pair of hands) even if you are bored by old-fashioned language and sometimes slower pace as easily as myself.
I'm amazed at how Jules Verne, a French author, could offer such details so smoothly in the late 19th century.
I wouldn't say further lest this review becomes a spoiler for you. Just get this audiobook and enjoy!

Fun, classic story - but SCREEN PLAY BETTER
What made the experience of listening to Around the World in 80 Days the most enjoyable?
Fast moving, compelling adventure story.
Any additional comments?
Actually a bit disappointed. This was because the movie is such a favorite. The screen play is really much more detailed, compelling, colorful and enjoyable. Many of the pivotal scenes in the book are only lightly detailed and pass without the detail that one might want. This is one of those cases where the movie was actually an improvement on the book.

A delightful read
Jules Verne was an excellent writer and this is one of his great, classic stories. It is a fun romp around the world and the characters are very engaging, especially Passepartout who provides the main point of view for the reader as well as a catalyst for a lot of the action. The book builds to an exciting and satisfying conclusion.
It is read by the great Patrick Tull who is famous for reading the Patrick O'Brien novels (which is why I chose this particular book). Tull imbues each character with their own personality, he really was one of the best readers.
I highly recommend this book, it is also a great family book.

A straightforward adventure/exploration story
A straightforward adventure/exploration story. Verne is a master at capturing the magic of geography. He juggles all that while also letting the reader ponder the wonders of technology and the industry and honor of man.
Again, the biggest limit to Verne is his poor 19th-century translators and editors and in this novel perhaps a tad too much colonial attitude. Verne's inaccuracy about Mormons is funny, but illustrative of the weakness found throught the rest of the book. Verne seemed more adept at speculating about the future and technology than observing the present and people.

An exciting book for the whole family!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
The book moved along at a nice pace, and the subplot of the thief kept us wondering. We used the story as part of our geography lesson, and we tracked the main character's movement throughout the story. The reader did a great job on all voice performances, too.
What did you like best about this story?
The characters and the suspense of the story.
Which scene was your favorite?
The bartering for the elephant scene.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
It was too long for that, but we did use it on a long car ride. Perfect! Everyone enjoyed it.
