商品簡介
She was a delicate Victorian invalid, perpetually ill. Instead of resting, she rode to the ends of the Earth.
Born in 1831, Isabella Bird was expected to live a life defined by frailty and domestic routine. Yet, whenever her health faltered, her doctors prescribed travel-a prescription she followed with relentless audacity, transforming herself from a suffering English gentlewoman into the most celebrated global adventurer of her age.
This definitive biography chronicles the extraordinary life of the first woman inducted into the Royal Geographical Society. Follow Bird's journey from the volcanic peaks of Hawaii and the rugged wilderness of the Rocky Mountains, where she rode alongside notorious outlaws, to the remote villages of Japan, the palaces of Persia, and the turbulent Yangtze Valley.
More than a traveler, Bird was a critical observer whose writing captured a world vanishing under the shadow of empire. She gave voice to indigenous cultures, criticized colonial flaws, and challenged the limits of what a woman-or any human being-could endure. Approx.172 pages, 31800 word count
