Présentation de l'éditeur :
Biographie de l'auteur :
"Grand and wonderful....Describes the entire region, including its history, government, industries, and resources - especially its resources in the matter of recreation and sport. One cannot close the book without exclaiming with Bernier, 'In truth, the kingdom surpasses in beauty all that my warmest imagination had anticipated.'" -The Dial
"Very charming book." -The Spectator
"Sir Francis Younghusband has special qualifications for his task. He is at present the resident or representative of the government of India at the Court of the Maharajah of Kashmir and Jammu, has seen much, and traveled greatly in and about the Himalaya....His remarks about travel, Srinagar and its neighborhood, sport, and the people, and worth consideration by intending visitors. But apart from these there is information about the history of Kashmir, its administration, products, manufactures, and developments, of high interest." -Atheneum
"Of the few Europeans who have explored the country none can speak with such authority as the author of this vividly interesting account." -International Studio
"The specialist will find here the gist of Stein's work and of the still more recent geological treatises of Burrard and Hayden, not mentioned only but discussed." -The Nation
"Whether describing the nature...or whether describing the people of Kashmir, under Greek, Buddhist, Mohammedan, or British influences, the author seems equally interesting and impressive." -Outlook
Sir Francis Younghusband is universally known for his forcible entry into Lhasa in 1902. But his adventures commenced much earlier. After mountaineering in Manchuria, he began in 1887 his exciting journey through the heart of Asia, across the Gobi Desert and Chinese Turkestan to Kashgar and Yarkand, and then across the Himalayas to Srinagar. He was sent by the British to investigate Hunza raids on Kirghiz territory; he went on his famous expedition to the Pamirs, only to be summarily ordered out by the Russians; and in 1898 he was appointed political agent in the disturbed Chitral (in present-day Pakistan).
