Angebote / Angebote:

Excerpt from Tales of Travel, All Around the World IT is a universal trait in human nature, civilized and savage, to desire to learn all that is possible of other people. We are all curious about our neigh bors - as to how they look and live and act, their business, beliefs, characters, and characteristics. It is so all around the world. The people of every race, class, and country are interested to learn what they can of other people living in distant parts of the world. It is this trait that gives a never-end ing interest and charm to the tales of travel told by the world travelers. It is in response to many requests from friends and strangers who have read my Around the World letters published in the newspapers, that I write a boo - that has induced me to issue this modest volume. Somebody has said that' there is no story as enchanting as the story of a human life. I think there is much more information and interest in the story of a nation, with its millions of human lives, its history, achievements, customs, characteristics, and all its varied and vast concerns.
