From Pekin to Calais by Land is a travelogue written by Harry De Windt and originally published in 1892. The book follows De Windt’s journey from Beijing (then known as Pekin) to Calais, France, entirely by land. De Windt’s journey takes him across the vast expanse of Asia, through Siberia, across the Ural Mountains, and through Europe. Along the way, he encounters a diverse array of people and cultures, from Russian peasants to Chinese soldiers, and he experiences a range of challenges, from extreme weather to political unrest. The book provides a vivid and detailed account of De Windt’s journey, including descriptions of the landscapes, people, and cultures he encounters along the way. It also offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of travel in the late 19th century, when long-distance journeys were still a rare and adventurous undertaking. Overall, From Pekin to Calais by Land is a captivating travelogue that offers a unique perspective on a bygone era of exploration and adventure.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
