Pesarī kih Dūr-i Donyā rā Rekāb Zad (1) Persiska (Farsi) 1404

Tom, an adventurous boy who always dreamed of traveling to faraway lands, one day sets off on a journey, riding his bicycle from Yorkshire, England, toward the continent of Africa. Along the way, he passes through various European countries and eventually enters Africa via the Suez Canal. He travels across the continent from north to south, and the first book concludes at the southern tip of Africa, a distant land in South Africa, the only gateway to the Americas!

In this exciting story, written by Alastair Humphreys—an English author, documentary filmmaker, and adventurer—based on his own real-life global journeys, readers join Tom, a curious and daring boy who feels that the real world must be bigger than the one around him, and decides to embark on an incredible bicycle adventure to discover the wider world.

The author’s first adventure occurred when he was just nine years old, a 32-kilometer journey across the three famous peaks of Yorkshire in England. In 2001, at the age of 25, Alastair began a four-year journey around the world by bicycle, covering 74,000 kilometers. In 2012, he was named Adventure of the Year by National Geographic.

Alastair is also the creator of the concept of “microadventures”—small, adventurous trips that anyone can undertake. He has written numerous books about his adventures, which have been translated into multiple languages.
