Imagine reading “Around the World in 80 Days” in Norwegian – and understanding every page

“Around the World in 80 Days” (in Norwegian: “Jorden rundt på 80 dager”, orig. Around the World in Eighty Day) by Jules Verne – is a complete, engaging story specially adapted for the A2 (elementary) level. You don't need to know every word. You'll understand 95% of the text immediately, and every new word is explained in the margin. You simply read – and learn naturally.

  • Phileas Fogg makes an audacious wager to circumnavigate the world in eighty days.
  • His race against time is constantly jeopardized by unforeseen delays, treacherous conditions, and the relentless pursuit of Detective Fix.
  • They face numerous obstacles, including a daring rescue of an Indian princess, Aouda, who joins their perilous quest.

  • Learn anywhere: A mobile app with games allows you to review vocabulary on your way to work, in line, or wherever you have a moment.
  • Build lasting vocabulary: Flashcards at the end of the book allow you to systematically review the most important words – so you don't forget what you've learned.

About the writers and translators

The classic author and the Pentecost editor who adapted this book for learners—each line is a bold name, then a short bio.

  • Jules Verne: Jules Verne (1828–1905) was a French writer of adventure stories. Many readers know him for journeys by sea, air, and underground.

Translators and editors

Our editors adapt vocabulary and notes so the story stays clear at your level. Each line below is a bold name, then a short note.

  • Grace Earthland: Grace Earthland prepares English commentary for Norwegian texts in the graded-reader programme. Norwegian’s compact clauses can read abrupt in English; she smooths the seams while keeping the emotional temperature of the scene. She coordinates closely with whoever writes the chapter exercises so examples match the chapter’s new items.
