Reseña del editor
Excerpt from Mysterious India: Its Rajahs Its Brahmans Its Fakirs
Today the cote d'azur express deposits you in [one night on the quays of La Joliette whence, the next morning, a long steamer carries you Ofi', to the strains Of music, toward Egypt, once penetrated by the Great Frenchman. In five days you reach Port Said; five more take you from Suez to Djibouti or to Aden; and a final five suffice for you to gain the harbor of Bombay. From this point India today lies open to the super-tourist as does Java, indo-china or New Zealand. The double screws and the engines of our steamships have made short work of distance and of oceans. It has become as easy to go to India as to visit the Tyrol or Andalusia. For this you may take the word of the author, who has twice found it so by personal experience.
