Autorenporträt
C. K. Shepherd was a British author and adventurer, best known for his travelogue Across America by Motor-Cycle. The book is a vivid, humorous, and reflective account of his journey across the United States on a motorbike after returning to England post-World War. Shepherd's writings offer a personal insight into his experiences, blending travel, exploration, and social commentary. While detailed biographical information about him is limited, his works reflect a keen interest in cultures, landscapes, and the challenges of travel, particularly through motorcycling. Shepherd's narrative captures both the humor and difficulties of navigating a new world after the war, touching on the emotions of returning soldiers and the evolving nature of American society. His adventures on the road provided him with a unique perspective on the post-war world, and his ability to blend humor with thoughtful reflection made his travel writings notable for their time. Shepherd's contributions remain an interesting look into the early motorcycling culture and the post-war mindset.
