Around the World in Eighty Days, Part 7: The Long Noses · Jules Verne — Mono Noir Classics

THE CLASSIC, FULLY DRAMATIZED. Part 7 of 11: The Long Noses. Jules Verne's Around the World in Eighty Days in a new English translation made for this production directly from Verne's French, acted by a full cast with music and sound.

Passepartout wakes aboard the Carnatic with no master, no money and an empty stomach, and lands at Yokohama knowing nobody. A strong back is worth a meal to a troupe of acrobats, the Long Noses, and at the top of a human pyramid he sees a familiar face in the audience. Then an American paddle-steamer across the Pacific, a watch that refuses to change its time, and an old quarrel that ends on the foredeck.

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.

This audio drama uses an AI-assisted English translation, AI-generated voices, music, sound effects and artwork. All spoken performances in this edition use ElevenLabs V4.
