Summary "Across Coveted Lands; or, a Journey from Flushing (Holland) to Calcutta…" by A. Henry Savage Landor is a travel narrative written in the early 20th century. This work details an extensive overland journey through Europe and Asia, capturing the author's experiences and observations as he traverses diverse cultures and landscapes. Landor's vivid prose and insightful anecdotes promise to engage readers interested in exploration and the intricacies of travel during this period. The opening of the book introduces the author's journey, beginning with his travel preparations and initial encounters at train stations. He navigates the complexities of customs at the Russian border with a humorous anecdote regarding a misunderstanding with French merchants about his guns, revealing both the fears and follies associated with traveling in unfamiliar territories. As he proceeds to Warsaw, the author reflects on the city's beauty while giving insights into its history and cultural significance, setting the stage for subsequent travels throughout Eastern Europe and into Asia. This initial chapter effectively establishes the tone for a fascinating exploration filled with both serious observations and light-hearted encounters. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
