Around the World on a Bicycle: Volume 1 From San Francisco to Teheran
San Francisco journalist Thomas Stevens rides from San Francisco to Teheran - in the 1880s.
Around the World on a Bicycle: Volume 1 From San Francisco to Teheran documents this trip.
It would be an amazing adventure today.
Roll back the clock 130 years, and you have history in the making.
Stevens is imbued with the prejudices and turn of phrase common to his era, as are we of ours.
What a feat, what a book.
