Synopsis

Excerpt from A Summer Ride Through Western Tibet

So much attention has been attracted recently to Tibet in its military and political aspects that it is hoped that an account of what may be called the domestic details of the western portion of the country, as set forth in the following pages, will be of interest to the general reader. The charm and ease of travelling in Western Tibet, of which I have tried to give an impression, may encourage those who have leisure and opportunity to set out and experience it for themselves.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

So much attention has been attracted recently to Tibet in its military and political aspects that it is hoped that an account of what may be called the domestic details of the western portion of the country, as set forth in the following pages, will be of interest to the general reader. The charm and ease of travelling in Western Tibet, of which I have tried to give an impression, may encourage those who have leisure and opportunity to set out and experience it for themselves. To the Rev. A. H. Francke, an accomplished Tibetan scholar and a keen archaeologist, who is stationed at the Moravian Mission, Khalatse, Ladakh, I owe a debt of gratitude for having drawn my attention to the many ancient remains scattered over the country, and for having awakened my interest in them so much that I was fortunate enough to discover some which are of considerable historical value, and have been hitherto unrecorded. The archaeology of Ladakh and Baltistan is only beginning to be made known to European scholars, and there is undoubtedly a rich field for exploration in these countries.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
