The book chronicles the author's unexpected journey from London to Egypt and eventually Rome, highlighting his unique experiences that deviate from traditional travel accounts. Bevan offers insights into the culture, people, and landscapes he encounters, showcasing the challenges and amusing moments of his travels. The opening of the narrative introduces Bevan as he reflects on his unfulfilling life in London after a recent termination of his partnership in a business venture. He comes across an intriguing advertisement in "The Times" calling for a gentleman to undertake a job in a foreign country, which piques his interest. After a series of humorous events involving an awkward job interview and a somewhat chaotic send-off from his friends in London, he embarks on a voyage that leads him across the Mediterranean to Alexandria, where he is greeted by the bustling, vibrant life of the Egyptian port, setting the stage for the adventures that await him.
