Hot Countries

by Alec Waugh

Book Overview

This discursive and absorbing travel-book offers, as the author says in his new Foreword, "a picture of a way of living that exists no longer."

Hot Countries tells of a series of journeys in the Far East, the West Indies and the South Sea Islands when he was a young and light-hearted novelist seeking colour, romance and adventure.

The author tells of places he's been and things he's seen. He describes being at sea, in Tahiti, La Martinique, Siam, Ceylon, the Tropics, New Hebrides, Black Republic and back to London.This book was originally published in 1930 so his descriptions of what was then may not be as is now.
