This volume recounts Treves's journey around the globe, offering his observations and reflections on the people, places, and cultures he encountered during his travels. Treves intended for his detailed narrative to be considered a common person's experience, rather than a scholarly or scientific account. Written by Sir Frederick Treves, a prominent British surgeon, and an expert in anatomy who was renowned for his surgical treatment of appendicitis, and is credited with saving the life of King Edward VII in 1902. He is also widely known for his friendship with Joseph Merrick, dubbed the "Elephant Man" for his severe deformities. Publisher's advertisements to the rear.
