A propos de cet article

Epic memoir that covers three decades of travel to countries along the Silk Road including Tibet and the Himalayas. Henin "saw more of 'the roof of the world' than any European before him. A worldwide bestseller in the 1920s, it today introduces a new generation to a man of exceptional daring and accomplishment." Light tan linen cover with dark brown writing and imagery on the cover and spine. 544 pages. Has only one marking "2-7" on the inside of the back cover. Overall in excellent condition. No markings, pages intact and not bent, no obvious damage, binding is firm. Slight discoloration on the cover and bending on the bottom right. Includes 160 of Hedin's own illustrations.Please review the photos as they form an important part of the description. I am able to send additional photos as requested. The current owner, anthropologist and writer Don Messerschmidt, PhD, is known for his research and writings on the Himalayas and related topics. He has published books and articles internationally since the 1960s when he first lived in Nepal as an American Peace Corps volunteer. He went on to enhance his understanding of Himalayan peoples and places as an independent researcher and on numerous consultancies. For over a half-century, he has been engaged in field studies, university professorships, and writing about the rich cultures of Bhutan, Nepal, North India, and Tibet. Along the way, he amassed an extensive library of Himalayan studies and has written several of his own, including two prize-winners. He has also been an editor for two regional magazines and has been called upon to review and pen chapters and forewords for Himalayan-oriented publications.…
