Join Thomas Stevens on his extraordinary adventure as the first person to circumnavigate the globe by bicycle in the late 19th century. Starting his remarkable journey in April 1884 from San Francisco, Stevens cycled across the United States to Boston, where he boarded a steamer to England. His travels took him through the landscapes of England, France, Central Europe, and Asia Minor, before being halted at the borders of Afghanistan. Undeterred, he made his way to Karachi and crossed the vast expanse of India. After a journey by ship from Calcutta to Hong Kong, Stevens ventured onward to Japan, ultimately completing an astonishing 13,500 miles by December 1886 in Yokohama. This first volume captures the essence of his travels from San Francisco to Teheran, where he spent the winter, offering a fascinating glimpse into a world long past. (Summary by Availle)
