"A Flying Trip Around the World" recounts Elizabeth Bisland's remarkable journey in 1889 to circumnavigate the globe in a competition against Nellie Bly. Undertaken to beat Bly's anticipated record, Bisland's journey took her eastward, across Europe and Asia. This volume captures her impressions of various cultures and landscapes encountered during her hasty voyage.
Bisland's narrative provides a fascinating glimpse into the world at the end of the 19th century, detailing the challenges and wonders of international travel during that era. Her detailed descriptions and keen observations offer insights into the social, political, and technological conditions of the time. "A Flying Trip Around the World" remains a testament to the spirit of adventure and the burgeoning age of global exploration.
