Description
A Bronx teacher trots the globe, floating down many rivers, climbing many mountains from Europe to the Orient in a quest to understand humanity. Walking the Bible in Israel in the footsteps of Hebrew prophets and Jesus-from Bethlehem down to the Via Dolorosa to Golgotha, past the remains of Solomon's Temple-and dipping his hand in the Jordon River, he ponders religion.
Bathing in the Nile river like Moses, he dries his feet on the dry Saharan sands, but first scales the pyramids in a search for answers to humanity's quest for immortality before gazing on the pharaohs 'mummies.
Sailing down European rivers and trudging through many bloodstained roads, he ponders man's inhumanity to man. Then, scaling the Great Wall of China, he remembers the poet Robert Frost's.
