Around The Shores Of Asia: A Diary Of Travel From The Golden Horn To The Golden Gate is a travelogue written by Mary Augusta Poynter and originally published in 1921. The book chronicles Poynter's journey along the coasts of Asia, from Istanbul's Golden Horn to the Golden Gate in San Francisco. Throughout the book, Poynter provides vivid descriptions of the places she visits and the people she meets, including the bustling cities of Constantinople, Beirut, and Shanghai, as well as the more remote regions of the Philippines and Japan. She also shares her experiences with local customs, traditions, and cuisine, offering a unique perspective on the diverse cultures of Asia.Poynter's writing is both informative and engaging, and she frequently injects her own opinions and reflections into the narrative. Along the way, she encounters a range of characters, from wealthy merchants and government officials to humble fishermen and farmers. Overall, Around The Shores Of Asia is a fascinating account of a bygone era of travel and exploration, and a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and culture of Asia.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
