Around The World On A Bicycle V2: From Teheran To Yokohama is a travelogue written by Thomas Stevens, originally published in 1889. The book is a continuation of Stevens’ journey around the world on a bicycle, which he began in 1884. In this volume, Stevens recounts his travels through Asia, including his experiences in Persia, India, and Japan. He describes the people, landscapes, and cultures he encounters along the way, as well as the challenges he faces as a solo traveler on a bicycle. The book provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of travel in the late 19th century, and is an inspiring account of one man’s determination to explore the world on two wheels.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
