Around The World On A Bicycle V1 (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781161422290)

Around The World On A Bicycle V1 is a travelogue written by Thomas Stevens, chronicling his journey around the world on a bicycle. The book is divided into several chapters, each detailing Stevens' experiences in different parts of the world. The first volume covers his journey from San Francisco to Teheran, including his travels through the United States, France, Italy, Turkey, and Iran. Throughout the book, Stevens provides vivid descriptions of the landscapes, people, and cultures he encounters on his journey. He also discusses the challenges he faced, including difficult terrain, dangerous animals, and hostile locals. Additionally, Stevens reflects on the personal growth he experienced during his journey, as well as the lessons he learned about life and the world.Overall, Around The World On A Bicycle V1 is a fascinating account of one man's epic journey around the world, and offers readers a unique perspective on the world in the late 19th century.The first thing I come across is a tunnel burrowing through a hill. This tunnel was originally built the proper size, but, after being walled up, there were indications of a general cave-in; so the company had to go to work and build another thick rock-wall inside the other, which leaves barely room for the trains to pass through without touching the sides. It is anything but an inviting path around the hill; but it is far the safer of the two.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
