Michael Palin established his reputation with MONTY PYTHON'S FLYING CIRCUS and RIPPING YARNS. His work also includes several films with Monty Python, as well as THE MISSIONARY, A PRIVATE FUNCTION, an award-winning performance as the hapless Ken in A FISH CALLED WANDA and, more recently, AMERICAN FRIENDS and FIERCE CREATURES. His television credits include two films for the BBC's GREAT RAILWAY JOURNEYS, the plays EAST OF IPSWICH and NUMBER 27, and Alan Bleasdale's GBH. He has written books to accompany his six very successful travel series, AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 DAYS, POLE TO POLE, FULL CIRCLE, HEMINGWAY ADVENTURE, SAHARA and HIMALAYA. He is also the author of a number of children's stories, the play THE WEEKEND and the novel HEMINGWAY'S CHAIR.

'The pace of this kind of travel has not much changed since Fogg set out in 1872. Trains may be a little faster, but there are certainly no high-speed rail links yet across India, China or the USA. Passenger services have practically disappeared from the world's shipping lanes ... Recourse to air travel, even as a convenient means of escape, was not allowed.'
Following the route taken by Phileas Fogg 115 years earlier, Michael Palin set out from the Reform Club to circumnavigate the world. The rules were simple, but nothing else about the trip was straightforward...
From a tour of Venice on a rubbish barge to ship spotting at the Suez Canal and the bicycle rush hour and snake snacks in China, this is an unparalleled tribute to man's ability to make life difficult for himself.

I really enjoyed the video, one of Palin's first with the BBC, and the book obviously cannot effectively capture the physical humor that Palin presents but it still worth while as the pictures and writing are quite interesting as Palin travels the circumference of the globe in 80 days. Great fun as Palin dines on snake in an Asian country (presented live and then sliced and diced for you to see) and his long ride on an ocean cargo ship where he plays charades with a crew with the help of a little alcohol at their small party. Enjoyable book with well written humorous anecdotes but see the film to have a greater appreciation for Palin's encounters with people and places. His innocent humor disarms everyone he meets and provides them and you with a laugh while exploring the world."; 9.7 X 7.5 X 0.8 inches; 256 pages. N° de réf. du vendeur 19866
