Around the World in Eighty Days

A reasonably priced high-quality edition of Jules Verne's most well-known work, which is a fantastic story in every sense of the word. What I find most amazing about it is that Jules Verne actually says more about Nebraska and Omaha than any of the other places Phileas Fogg visits. For a European in the 1870s, Nebraska must have seemed like the most exotic place on earth. It also seems incredible that in 140 years, I would be the first editor to realize that Grand Island, Nebraska was somehow translated as Great Island. I have corrected this, as well as a few glaring typographical errors that seem also to have gone unnoticed.
