The Autobiography of a Super-Tramp is William Henry Davies’s vivid account of life as a wandering laborer and homeless traveler during the final years of the nineteenth century. Leaving Wales as a young man, Davies crosses the Atlantic and begins an uncertain existence across the United States, Canada, and Britain.He works aboard cattle ships, accepts temporary jobs, begs for food, sleeps outdoors, and travels illegally on freight trains. Along the way, he encounters hardened wanderers, generous strangers, dishonest companions, policemen, prisoners, and working people struggling to survive. His journey reveals both the freedom and the severe hardships of life beyond conventional society.Davies writes directly and without sentimentality, describing hunger, illness, dangerous journeys, and occasional moments of unexpected kindness. His wandering life changes permanently when an attempt to board a moving train in Canada ends in a terrible accident and the loss of his right foot.Combining travel, social observation, humor, and personal reflection, this remarkable autobiography offers an authentic portrait of poverty and resilience. It is both an adventurous memoir and an important record of the itinerant world that existed across Britain and North America at the turn of the twentieth century.Copyright Mentor New York アート
