About this title

Synopsis

Originally published in 1913, this is a fascinating novel of the period and still an interesting read today. Chapters include; First impression of life and labour on the continent, Politics and Races, Naples and the land of the emigrant and Cracow and the Polish Jew as well as many more. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

About the Author

Booker T. Washington (1856-1915) was born a slave. He graduated from what is today Hampton University in 1875, and subsequently taught there. In 1881 he founded the forerunner of Tuskegee University. He made himself and his school two of the most well-known institutions in twentieth-century black America. He earned world-renowned recognition as an educator, social theorist, and spokesperson for African Americans.
