This book is an abridged version of the original in a special collection from Hachette entitled Lecture Facile (Easy Reading) and it is 77 pages long - Level 1 out of 3 with 3 being the advanced version. I used it in a level 4 French class and found it to be very useful for teaching purposes. The entire text is written in the present and the compound past so it is a great beginning reader useful to motivate inexperienced readers of French. The story is a delight and the relationships between the characters is what held everyone's attention. It is apparently timeless as all of the students commented that they loved this book. I rate it four stars because I like the full version so much better. But again, this is a great beginning reader.

I read this book when I was a little girl and once again I enjoyed it. The reading on the kindle is so simple. Great free reading, a classic.

i remember reading this when i was a young boy. of course i read it in english and it brought back fond memories. i do so enjoy the old classics which is not to say newer stories are not interestng but if any one wishes to travel the world while sitting at home it is quite wonderful. thanks to amazon and the kindle experience.

I'm in complete shock that Amazon would sell this horrendous photocopy of a defaced book! Though the original text is in French, throughout the entire book there are handwritten English translations, written in cursive, near their French counterparts as well as underlined words and phrases -- this is on nearly every page!! Additionally, the photocopied pages vary in quality from faint copy as if copied from a copy, from a copy, to darkened pages leaving large sections of the pages blackened and unreadable. I've purchased hundreds of books from Amazon - this will be my first return. WARNING -- DO NOT BUY!!!!

"80 days around the world" is a wonderful trip that will take you north and south, east and west where you will see the colors, hear the anthems and taste the way of life of 1000 different cultures!
