In a small town on the Mexican border live two brothers, Don Fidencio and Don Celestino. Stubborn and independent, they now must face the facts: they are old, and they have let a family argument stand between them for too long. Don Celestino's good-natured housekeeper encourages him to make amends - while he still can. They secretly liberate Don Fidencio from his nursing home and travel into Mexico to solve the mystery at the heart of their dispute: the family legend of their grandfather's kidnapping. As the unlikely trio travels, the brothers learn it's never too late for a new beginning. With winsome prose and heartfelt humor, Oscar Casares's debut novel of family lost and found radiates with generosity and grace and confirms the arrival of a uniquely talented new writer.

The journal documents Scudder's 1906 trip around the world. The Oakland schoolboy decided to see the world two months after the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. Under false pretenses, the teenager obtained a position as a waiter on a steamer and headed out across the Pacific to Manila, where he jumped ship and spent two months in the Philippines. He then found work on another vessel, sailing to Singapore, Colombo (Sri Lanka), and other ports in the Pacific and Indian oceans. Passing through the Suez Canal, Scudder's ship proceeded past Gibraltar and into the Atlantic, arriving at Newport News, Virginia in early November. From there, he made his way back across country to California by train. The first 31 pages of the journal give an overview of his journey; the remaining 100 pages transcribe the journal he kept at the time, and includes a diagram of the harbor of Manila. Lengthy portions describe his time in the Philippines, with other segments dedicated to Honolulu, Guam, Singapore, Ceylon and Gibraltar. Working aboard ship for his passage, Scudder proudly admits that he started and finished his journay with only two dollars. [From dealer description]

More than a travel book. It is also an intriguing historical document, a record of the places portrayed and an impression of the attitudes of the time. Hot Countries tells of a series of journeys in the Far East, the West Indies and the South Sea Islands when he was a young and light-hearted novelist seeking colour, romance and adventure. First published in 1930, this discursive and absorbing travel-book offers, as the author says, "a picture of a way of living that exists no longer."
