The Full Account - Paperback

Everyone knows the legendary story of Phileas Fogg's journey Around the World in Eighty Days as told by Jules Verne.

And Philip Jos? Farmer's fans know he uncovered the "secret history" behind Fogg's unexpected journey in The Other Log of Phileas Fogg.

One of Meteor House's most ambitious projects yet is The Full Account, a unique, one-of-a-kind edition wherein both classic books are woven together, allowing the reader to peruse the original exploits as described by Verne, followed by, in alternating fashion, Farmer's revelatory account of what was actually occurring "behind the scenes." We have not omitted, nor added, one word from the authorized editions of both books. Upon the recommendation of Verne expert Henry G. Franke III, we have utilized the Hutchinson text of Around the World in Eighty Days. The alternating texts of each novel have been set in different fonts in order to enhance readability.
