Inhaltsangabe

Vivid travel scenes and reflections from an overland and sea voyage.

This edition collects lively, first‑person chapters from Delight Sweetser’s One Way Round the World, weaving landscapes, people, and culture into a continuous travel diary.

Begin with a cross‑country road journey that blends humor, observation, and a keen eye for place. The narrative then sails from Hong Kong to Singapore, relaying encounters with soldiers, ports, and tropical climates. Later, it returns to Europe with vivid impressions of Paris and the French capital’s art, streets, and people. This edition offers a window into late‑19th‑century travel, where trains, ships, and urban life connect distant corners of the globe through a single traveler’s gaze.

• Scenes from the American West and Colorado landscapes, rail travel, and the culture of the era.
• East‑meets‑West port observations, tropical heat, markets, and urban life in Singapore and Hong Kong.
• Energetic passages about Parisian boulevards, landmarks, museums, and the city’s timeless charm.
• Personal anecdotes and reflections on travel, class, and the everyday moments that color long journeys.

Ideal for readers of travel writing and historical journeys who enjoy atmosphere, mood, and a frank, first‑person voice as the world unfolds before a moving observer.
