| Zusammenfassung: | "A unique collection of letters from a member of the YWCA on her first world tour in the 1930s, Letters from Clara tells one woman's story of adventure and danger on the eve of World War II. Despite limited financial means, Clara Pagel was richly resourceful and used the YWCA network to find work and places to live in the Far East, along the way meeting other women also working their way around the world. As Clara described in letters to her YMCA friends back home, her sojourn was filled with museums and world-famous landmarks, as well as typhoons, bombings, and earthquakes.

This is the story of a remarkable woman on an unexpected but fulfilling journey to learn about the world and herself"-- |
