From East to West: Toynbee's Travels Around the World
by H
About This Novel
From February 1956 to August 1957, Toynbee and his wife went on a 17-month round-the-world trip to three continents and nearly 20 countries and regions after their retirement. "From East to West: Toynbee's Global Travels" is his travel diary of this trip. Different from ordinary travel notes, this book is not a continuous account of this trip, but a series of scanned accounts worthy of attention based on Toynbee's unique insights and his profound understanding of world history, geography and religious life. For readers of Toynbee's other series of works, this book provides a fascinating supplement, not only reflecting Toynbee's unique historical wisdom at every turn, but also a precious account of a part of the world in the 1950s.

It is meaningless if you lose your life on the way to seek knowledge. After all, only by trying to save your life can you put knowledge to use. Therefore, caution is the way to go, even if the word caution is too bitter to swallow for an old but ambitious seeker.
