Présentation de l'éditeur

We are accustomed to look on old age as a desert of inactivity and duU monotony. This record proves that it can be shot through with thrills and enthusiasms that might well be envied by vigorous youth. To make a trip of the worl($-4t;feity filghti;i one of a party, would be a remaT ka ble hievetiierit, to make such a trip alone seems littie i cil. marvellous. The result was more rthM t:the. aocomplishment of the journey; for as- Hie autK or -says he was made over, his eyes were opened and he felt for the first time the real joy of living. It is in the hope that his experience may spur on other old people to the genuine enjoyment of life that this book has been published. It has no literary or scientific pretentions and claims to be only what it is, a selection from the letters written home in the course of the journey.
