Detailed Product Description
London, Martin Secker, 1911, 1st edition. 284 pp, 14 b/w photographs. Green cloth hardcover with gilt titles on spine. Near Fine condition, perhaps even Fine, especially considering the age. Contains former owner's handsome book plate on the front end paper. Several pages unopened! The sportsman, once his wanderings are over and gout or poverty chains him by the leg, must find what comfort he can in an armchair and an atlas. Aflalo's book recounts travel's drawbacks as well as its delights, its dust storms as well as its sunsets, its mosquitoes as well as its butterflies, its illusions as well as the joy of it. With two chapters on fishing, one on places and maps, another on guides the world over, this is a wonderful read! Contents: Preface Travel as an Education The Reform of the Tourist A Grumbler in the Rain The Voyage Cakes and Ales The High Places The Voice of the Mosquito The Fisherman's Mercator Native Servants in many Lands The Morning Bathe Rivers Running to Their Goal Sunshine and Shadow of Travel Envoi
