MP3 Audio CD. Around the World on a Bicycle, Vol. 1 CHAPTER I. OVER THE SIERRAS NEVADAS. The beauties of nature are scattered with a more lavish hand across the country lying between the summit of the Sierra Nevada Mountains and the shores where the surf romps and rolls over the auriferous sands of the Pacific, in Golden Gate Park, than in a journey of the same length in any other part of the world. Such, at least, is the verdict of many whose fortune it has been to traverse that favored stretch of country. Nothing but the limited power of man's eyes prevents him from standing on the top of the mountains and surveying, at a glance, the whole glorious panorama that stretches away for more than two hundred miles to the west, terminating in the gleaming waters of the Pacific Ocean. Could he do this, he would behold, for the first seventy-five or eighty miles, a vast, billowy sea of foot-hills, clothed with forests of sombre pine and bright, evergreen oaks; and, lower down, dense patches of… Read More

MP3 Audio CD. Around the World on a Bicycle is the true story of an extraordinary endeavor successfully undertaken by Thomas Stevens: in April 1884 he set off on a large-wheeled bicycle to circle the globe. He left from San Francisco, then he boarded a steamer to get to England, then to France and through Europe to Asia. Being stopped at the border of Afghanistan, he had to return to board a vessel that took him to Karachi, then to India. From India he continued his journey to Hong Kong, then to Shanghai and Japan, to end his journey in Yokohama after having covered around 13,500 miles by bicycle by the end of 1886.The first volume of his travel accounts comprises the period from the start of the journey to the time spent in Teheran where he reached just before the beginning of winter and where he spent the cold season before moving on. The route from San Francisco took Stevens through the Sierra Nevada Mountains, then to Utah, Wyoming, Boston and New York.During this first part of the journey, he… Read More

MP3 Audio CD. Around the World on a Bicycle, Vol. 2 FROM TEHERAN TO YOKOHAMA. CHAPTER I. THE START FROM TEHERAN. The season of 1885-86 has been an exceptionally mild winter in the Persian capital. Up to Christmas the weather was clear and bracing, sufficiently cool to be comfortable in the daytime, and with crisp, frosty weather at night. The first snow of the season commenced falling while a portion of the English colony were enjoying a characteristic Christmas dinner of roast-beef and plum-pudding, at the house of the superintendent of the Indo-European Telegraph Station, and during January and February, snow-storms, cold and drizzling rains alternated with brief periods of clearer weather. When the sun shines from a cloudless sky in Teheran, its rays are sometimes uncomfortably warm, even in midwinter; a foot of snow may have clothed the city and the surrounding plain in a soft, white mantle during the night, but, asserting his supremacy on the following morning, he will unveil the gray… Read More
