Paperback. Condizione: Good. The year was 1928 when two young Hungarians decided to travel around the world on a Harley-Davidson motorcycle with sidecar. Like Robert Fulton, whose circumnavigation of the globe is chronicled in his popular 1937 book, One Man Caravan, Sulkowsky thought his was the first around-the-world journey on a motorcycle. This account of his trip with friend Gyula Bartha gives a very clear-eyed view of the world in the 1930s -- a world where the colonizing influence of Europe had affected much of Africa and Asia but not all. The two experienced the riches of sultans, witnessed remote cultures and extreme poverty in far-flung villages, travelled through wilderness with the ever-present danger of wild animals, and traversed roads of all descriptions. They dealt with mud, sand, extreme heat and cold, and rivers where the motorcycle had to be taken apart to cross in a small boat. This intelligent and engaging book, now in a paperback edition, offers a unique world view between the World Wars, flavored by the great diversity of cultures and the wide variety of human life that exists on the planet.…

1 Auflage. 413 Seiten // The year was 1928 when two young Hungarians decided to travel around the world on a motor- cycle. Their trip, on a Harley-Davidson with sidecar, started in Paris, France. During the next eight years Zoltán Sulkowsky and his friend Gyula Bartha traveled through Europe, Africa, the Mideast, India, Australia, southeast Asia, Chína, Japan, North and South America, and back to Europe. Sulkowsky's account of their journey, published in Hungary in 1937, has now been translated into English and is presented here, complete with maps and the original photographs. Sulkowsky gives a very clear-eyed view of the world in the 1930s-a world where the colonizing influence of Europe had affected much of Africa and Asia. He describes in detail the overwhelming effect the British had on Indian culture and contrasts that with countries farther east where European dominance barely reached beyond the major cities. Sulkowsky and Bartha experienced the riches of sultans, witnessed primitive cultures and extreme poverty in remote villages, traveled through wilderness with the ever-present danger of wild animals, and traversed roads of all descriptions. They dealt with mud, sand, extreme heat and cold, and rivers where the motorcycle had to be taken apart to cross in a small boat. This intelligent and engaging book offers a worldview between the World Wars, flavored by observations of the great diversity of human life and culture that exists on this planet. // Das Jahr war 1928, als zwei junge Ungarn entschied sich, mit einem Motor um die Welt zu reisen - Fahrrad. Ihre Reise, auf einer Harley-Davidson mit Beiwagen, startete in Paris, Frankreich. Während des nächsten acht Jahre Zoltán Sulkowsky und sein Freund Gyula Bartha reiste durch Europa, Afrika, der Nahete Osten, Indien, Australien, Südostasien, Chína, Japan, Nord- und Südamerika und zurück nach Europa. Sulkowskys Bericht über ihre Reise, 1937 in Ungarn veröffentlicht, ist inzwischen ins Englische übersetzt und hier vorgestellt, komplett mit Karten und den Originalfotografien. Sulkowsky gibt einen sehr klaren Blick auf die Welt der 1930er Jahre - eine Welt, in der die der kolonialisierende Einfluss Europas hatte weite Teile Afrikas und Asiens beeinflusst. Er beschreibt es ausführlich die überwältigende Wirkung der Briten auf die indische Kultur und kontrastiert diese mit Ländern weiter östlich, wo die europäische Dominanz kaum über die großen Städte hinausreichte. Sulkowsky und Bartha erlebten den Reichtum der Sultane, erlebten primitive Kulturen und Extreme Armut in abgelegenen Dörfern, durch Wildnis mit dem allgegenwärtigen Wesen Gefahr wilder Tiere und bekreuzte Straßen aller Art. Sie hatten es mit Schlamm und Sand zu tun, extreme Hitze und Kälte, und Flüsse, bei denen das Motorrad auseinandergebaut werden musste, um in einer Kleines Boot. Dieses intelligente und fesselnde Buch bietet eine Weltanschauung zwischen den Weltkriegen, gewürzt von Beobachtungen der großen Vielfalt des menschlichen Lebens und der Kultur, die auf diesem Planeten existiert. // Minimale Lagerspuren.
