Description
Around the World on a Motorcycle 1928 to 1936 by Zoltan Sulkowsky In 1928, two young Hungarians embarked on a remarkable journey, circumnavigating the globe on a Harley-Davidson motorcycle with sidecar. Their account of this adventure offers a unique perspective on the world of the 1930s, where the influence of European colonizers had a profound impact on Africa and Asia, but not all regions were affected equally. Sulkowsky's travelogue chronicles the duo's experiences with the rich cultures of sultans, the harsh realities of remote villages, and the ever-present dangers of the wilderness. They faced numerous challenges, including treacherous terrain, extreme weather conditions, and the need to navigate rivers by disassembling their motorcycle. This intelligent and engaging book provides a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era, where the diversity of cultures and human life on the planet was on full display. Now available in paperback, this book offers a captivating and thought-provoking read for anyone interested in travel, history, or the human experience.
