The Travels and Adventures of James Massey

"The Travels and Adventures of James Massey" by Simon Tyssot de Patot and translated by Stephen Whatley may have been written in the 1700s, but it still resonates with modern audiences. The titular character is thrust into the world of adventures as he leaves home and travels the world. Through his travels, he's able to learn more about other places, people, and, most of all, himself.
