Round the World edition by Andrew Carnegie Politics Social Sciences eBooks
A very well written travel book from 1884. Among his many talents as an industrialist and philanthropist, I have to add author. After reading this book, I consider that Andrew Carnegie is a wonderfully gifted writer. I recommend this book for capturing the world of the late 1800s. He had access to different people in politics and business around the world due to being an industrialist.Andrew Carnegie was a wealthy American industrialist of the late 1800s. I remember him best for all of the libraries he built spread out across America which were a wonderful gift to the country.
When he initially traveled around the world, he made some notes which he privately published for his friends. At their urging, he cleaned up the notes and published them in this book. He is a wonderful writer, and writes better than most professional writers that I have read during my life. In addition to the expected travel book fare, he has comments on international finance and government which are very pertinent to the time. Some of the comments still apply today as they are timeless.
Carnegie is a gifted observer of people and things and able to convey his thoughts in words to the reader. He traveled by rail from Pittsburgh to San Francisco, from where the steamship Belgic sailed for Japan. He captures the feel of the ships he was on with the other passengers. He brings to life the different countries he visited with their scenery, people and customs. He went to Japan, and visited Yokohama, Tokio ( spelling used in the book), and Nagasaki. In China, Peking and Shanghai, Canton, the Paris of the East in the late 1800s were visited.

Round the World edition by Andrew Carnegie Politics Social Sciences eBooks Reviews
Very good, easy ready. Definitely recommend for anybody who either loves to read, or is fascinated by Carnegie. Thank you
Excellent summary of Mr. Carnegie'a trip around the world.
It's okay, not great.
I have always been a big fan of Andrew Carnegie, and this book gives us insight into his thinking. Good rea.
A more thoughtful and enlightened man than depicted by modern documentaries and authors. Nice to read the perspective of Carnegie in his own words.
Fascinating glance into world travel in the 1880's. Astute and prophetic observations by a true genius and entrepreneurial phenomenon. A pleasant and unexpected surprise.
Extraordinarily erudite observations about his travel experiences. He was a one of a kind guy and an incredible observer and student of human nature. His predictions are very interesting 100 years later. Amazing facts noted. No roads in China then. Only wheelbarrow tracks between villages. Railroad pulled up by government edict. Chinese graves everywhere. Commentary of the Chinese forms of bureaucracy and military of the time and living conditions for the common people 100 years ago.
