Around the World in Eighty Days
Jules Verne's 1873 novel, told as a night-long drift. Steamers, sleeper trains and slow horizons, all the way round the world and back.
Retold for sleep from Around the World in Eighty Days by Jules Verne, first published in 1872 and long out of copyright. The story is Verne's; every sentence here is our own.

Soft-spoken and slow, a bedtime-story hush, plain, warm, and easy to come back to.
