Publisher's Summary: Jules Verne's Around the World in 80 Days, has captured the imagination of many brave voyagers, some with fatal results. Bertrand Piccard and Brian Jones made history when they became the first people to pilot a hot air balloon around the globe without stopping, and they completed the feat in less than 20 days. During the three-week journey, the two men lived in a cabin 9 feet high, 18 feet long, and 8 feet wide and encountered many harrying adventures along the way. They addressed the National Press Club on September 24, 1999. |
