      After the war, I travelled to a village in the south of the province. It was my intention to vacation for the weekend in an unknown land. I followed a small river that was alternately green beneath the foliage of the forest and blue while it coursed

      In an ideal world – by which I mean one that lives up to my most energetic fantasies – Paul Theroux and I would be meeting in some far flung and exotic place: on an empty platform in a distant railway station, or under a date palm in a dried-up deser

      Gosh, chums! Operating the wireless telegraph was a swell occupation in 1913. Especially aboard a steamer on the Pacific. Oh, to be young, ambidextrous and enthusiastic! References to historical events abound, such as the Boxer Rebellion, etc. which were recent events then. Bert is our clean hero (no punks here) who with his two chums has the adventure of a lifetime and saves the day, too! If you're feeling nostalgic for the old days when the "Net" was all wireless telegraphy (the IM of those days) this type of stuff is for you.
