Nellie Bly’s solo trip around the globe broke records as she chronicled her journey in this fantastic vintage travelogue. First published in 1890, Around the World in Seventy-Two Days offers a unique perspective of the world in the late 19th century.

Writing under the pseudonym of Nellie Bly, the American journalist, Elizabeth Cochrane Seaman, traveled around the world following in the footsteps of Jules Verne’s fictional character Phileas Fogg. Inspired by Verne’s novel, Around the World in Eighty Days, Bly brought Fogg’s fantastic adventure to life through her journalistic account writing for the New York World newspaper in 1889.

With her money in a bag tied around her neck, a small bag of toiletries, and the clothes on her back, Bly traveled the globe. Through her detailed journal, she offers exciting accounts of her experiences and glimpses into a multitude of the cultures she encountered on her voyage.

The contents in this volume include:

- A Proposal to Girdle the Earth - The Start - Southampton to Jules Verne’s - Jules Verne at Home - On to Brindisi

Republished by Read & Co. Travel with an introductory author biography by Frances E. Willard and Mary A. Livermore, this late 1800s travelogue offers an immersive exploration of the world through the eyes of a pioneering Victorian woman. A perfect read for lovers of travel writing and those interested in the cultural history of the world.
