Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the authorââ â¢s solo cycling expedition from England to Khiva, a city in Central Asia, in 1899. The authorââ â¢s journey takes him across diverse landscapes and cultures, from the paved roads of Belgium to the wild plains of Hungary, with each chapter documenting his experiences in vivid detail. The authorââ â¢s account is more than a travelogue, however. It examines the cultural and political landscapes of the late 19th century, offering insights into the anxieties and tensions prevalent in the era. The authorââ â¢s encounter with the local people, their customs and traditions, reveals the clash between modernity and traditional ways of life, particularly in the context of Russiaââ â¢s growing influence in the region. The authorââ â¢s journey serves as a fascinating lens through which to observe the shifting power dynamics and cultural transformations taking place at the cusp of a new century in Central Asia. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781331414728_0
