Publisher's Synopsis
Tracks of a Rolling Stone is an autobiography written by Henry J. Coke, a British journalist and adventurer. The book chronicles Coke's life, from his early years in England to his travels around the world. He shares his experiences as a journalist in South Africa during the Boer War, his travels through Europe, Asia, and Africa, and his encounters with various historical figures such as Mahatma Gandhi and Winston Churchill. Coke's writing is vivid and descriptive, providing readers with a sense of the places he visited and the people he met. The book is a fascinating account of a life lived to the fullest, and a testament to the power of travel and adventure.Quite by the way, but adding greatly to my discomfort, was the fact that since leaving Prague, where I had relinquished everything I could dispense with, I had had much night travelling amongst native passengers, who so valued cleanliness that they economised it with religious care. By the time I reached Warsaw, I may say, without metonymy, that I was itching (all over) for a bath and a change of linen.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
