Isolation and Silence: A Profile of Castaways, Stowaways, Hobos, and Human Mail

By: Scaglia, Beatriz

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.

Not conforming to the norms of travel, this book profiles the extremes of unexpected trips from the disaster of marooned castaways to the proactive, often desperate, acts of stowing away.

Also included are the concepts of freighthopping and hobos, the chances taken by hitchhikers, and the curiosity of human mail.
