Around The World On A Bicycle V1 - Thomas Stevens - Bog

Around The World On A Bicycle V1 is a travelogue written by Thomas Stevens about his journey around the world on a bicycle in the late 1800s. The book is divided into several chapters, each detailing his travels through different countries and continents. Stevens begins his journey in San Francisco and travels through the United States before crossing the Atlantic Ocean to Europe. He then bikes through France, Italy, Turkey, and India before crossing the Pacific Ocean to Japan. From there, he travels to China, Hong Kong, and Singapore before crossing the Indian Ocean to South Africa. Stevens then bikes through Africa before finally returning to San Francisco after a two-year journey. Along the way, he encounters various cultures, landscapes, and challenges, all of which he describes in vivid detail. The book is an inspiring account of one man's determination to see the world in a unique and adventurous way.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.
