Jules Verne's most famous novel was originally conceived as a
play-and had its greatest 19th century success as a stage hit the
author himself adapted. Running for thousands of performances in
many different countries, including the United States, here is the
original playscript, translated directly from the French by the
producers of the original Broadway presentation, not published
since 1874. Like filmmakers after him, Verne understood the need to
make changes for the stage, and in collaboration with Adolphe
d'Ennery created a distinct variation, a play with many different
characters and episodes than are in the novel. Included in this
volume is an introduction about how the play was created and
staged, together with the first translation of Verne's essay, "The
Meridians and the Calendar," explaining how Phileas Fogg
accomplished his feat.
