A Sense of the World
by Jason Roberts
Here's what it says on the back:
He was known simply as the Blind Traveler. A solitary, sightless adventurer, James Holman (1786-1857) fought the slave trade in Africa, survived a frozen captivity in Siberia, hunted rogue elephants in Ceylon, helped chart the Australian outback – and, astonishingly, circumnavigated the globe, becoming one of the greatest wonders of the world he so sagaciously explored.
A Sense of the World is a spellbinding and moving rediscovery of one of history’s most epic lives – a story to awaken our own sense of awe and wonder.
