Jules Verne's novel, complete and in order, in our own English translation from his French (Le Tour du monde en quatre-vingts jours, 1872-73), made by Mono Noir with AI assistance. A few words of period language that are unkind to the peoples they describe are softened; Verne's own slips of fact and arithmetic are left as he wrote them.
