Beschreibung
The Royal Road to Romance is the travel classic in which a happy, young romanticist goes laughing and beating and fighting his vagabond way into the glamorous corners of the world.

When Richard Halliburton graduated from Princeton, he chose adventure over a career, traveling to far away places. This vivid book tells what happened, from a break-through Matterhorn mountain ascent in the Alps to being jailed for taking forbidden pictures on Gibraltar. "One of the most fascinating books of its kind ever written."

In 1939 the swashbuckling author was lost at sea in the Pacific.

Über den Autor
Richard Halliburton was a writer, lecturer, and world traveler. He published numerous books in his short lifetime, including The Royal Road to Romance, Glorious Adventure, and The Complete Book of Marvels. Halliburton is known for having paid the lowest toll to cross the Panama Canal, which he swam in 1928, paying 36 cents. Born in Tennessee in 1900, Halliburton died in 1939 as he and his crew attempted to sail a Chinese junk, the Sea Dragon, from Hong Kong to San Francisco as a publicity stunt. The vessel was unseaworthy and went down in a storm, apparently shortly after Halliburton sent out his last signal: "Southerly gales, squalls, lee rail under water, wet bunks, hard tack, bully beef, wish you were here-instead of me!"
