Mark Jenkins: Age of Exploration

The age of exploration is a book that introduces stories of people who explored the world between the end of the 19th and early 20th centuries. From 1988 to 1957, we gathered some fascinating articles on exploration and travel in National Geographic. From famous people, such as Theodore Roosevelt and Lindbergh, who crossed the Atlantic, to reporters, diplomats, housewives, and even pirates, we find a variety of moving stories. The last century, when the world was not yet connected to one another, was a time of endless exploration in the face of unknown worlds. There were modern transportation, such as trains and passenger vessels, but we had to go through a long journey, so the journey was as important as arrival. And there was no unique local culture or natural ecosystem destroyed, so we could go on a thrilling adventure outside of normal life. This book introduces the best travel stories of the last century, chosen by National Geographic. In a time when travel was soon exploration, the stories of people who had actually taken a real adventure were fascinating. The stories of the pioneers 100 years ago, who stepped into the unknown, have given a vivid glimpse of the free and fresh experience, not of today's game.
