The Long Way Round is a travelogue written by Emerson Gifford Taylor and first published in 1921. The book recounts Taylor's journey around the world, which took him over a year to complete. Taylor begins his journey in New York City and travels through Europe, the Middle East, India, China, Japan, and the Pacific Islands before returning to the United States. Throughout the book, Taylor describes the various cultures and customs he encounters, as well as the challenges he faces along the way, including illness, language barriers, and transportation difficulties. He also shares his observations on the political and social issues of the time, such as the aftermath of World War I and the growing tensions between the United States and Japan. The Long Way Round is a fascinating account of a journey that few people in the early 20th century would have been able to undertake. Taylor's writing is engaging and descriptive, and his observations provide a valuable insight into a world that was rapidly changing. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in travel writing, history, or cultural studies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
