From Teheran To Yokohama
Produced by Ray Schumacher
"Around the World on a Bicycle - Volume II" by Thomas Stevens is a travelogue written in the late 19th century that chronicles the author’s adventurous journey from Teheran to Yokohama via bicycle. This installment details his experiences as he embarks on this arduous journey, navigating diverse landscapes and cultures across Persia, Afghanistan, and beyond. As an intrepid explorer, Stevens provides unique insights into the places he visits and the people he encounters, while also detailing the challenges he faces on his remarkable expedition. The opening of the second volume starts with Stevens preparing for his departure from Teheran in the spring of 1886 after a mild winter. He reflects on the changing weather and the natural beauty surrounding him as he finalizes his route to the Pacific Coast, which includes traversing Turkestan and Southern Siberia. His experiences begin with a fond farewell from friends and various encounters in Teheran that reveal the cultural nuances of the city and its inhabitants, such as their bizarre interactions and humor regarding clothing. Upon embarking on his journey toward Meshed, he faces various obstacles, such as unridable paths and extreme weather, yet remains optimistic and filled with a sense of adventure, eager to document his experiences in the unfamiliar landscapes he travels through.
