Round the World Again in 80 Days: Tour du Monde en 80 Jours (Mon Premier Voyage) (Tauris Parke Paperbacks) [Idioma Inglés] - Tapa blanda

""Anything Cocteau did or said was stimulating. He walked through the streets and suddenly something would happen . . . He chose his words beautifully and carefully.""--Horst P. Horst "Anything Cocteau did or said was stimulating. He walked through the streets and suddenly something would happen . . . He chose his words beautifully and carefully."--Horst P. Horst

Jean Cocteau retraces the most celebrated round-the-world voyage of all time: that of Jules Verne's Phileas Fogg in 1873. Taking up an impulsive challenge from the editor of Paris-Soir, Cocteau sets off with his very own 'Passepartout' as companion on a picaresque voyage some sixty-three years after his fictional predecessor. He finds that the journey has lost none of its hazards and adventures as he races around the globe in tramp-ship, railway and ocean liner. Observing and recording the frenetic change of scenes from Athens and Alexandria to Bombay, Rangoon, and Yokohama and finally across the United States, Cocteau's witty, subjective and sometimes outrageous narrative gives this unique travel-memoir a camp and stylish spin.. NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.
