E-text prepared by Susan Skinner, Janet Blenkinship, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "From Pole to Pole: A Book for Young People" by Sven Anders Hedin is a travel narrative written in the early 20th century. This work aims to engage a younger audience with tales of adventure and exploration across diverse landscapes, from European cities to the far reaches of Asia. Likely rooted in the spirit of discovery characteristic of that era, it emphasizes both the natural beauty and cultural richness encountered on its journeys. The opening of the book sets the scene with the author's departure from Stockholm, detailing his journey by train to Berlin and beyond. Hedin describes the excitement of traveling by ferry across the Baltic Sea, the quaint landscapes of Northern Europe, and vividly portrays the bustling city of Berlin as the heart of Europe. As he ventures southwards, the narrative hints at historical reflections and the significance of the places encountered, including mentions of battle-scarred history and cultural landmarks. The prose paints a picture of a grand European adventure, laying the groundwork for further explorations into the mysteries of Persia, the enchanting landscapes of India, and the treasures of the East.
