Since the travels of the Englishman Thomas Manning in Tibet (1811 1812) , no European had visited Lhasa. Huc stimulated European interest in Central Asia and blazed a trail for Asian studies."

Livre Edition originale
Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. 1st Thus. 128 pages with woodcut illustrations to almost every page, plum coloured blind stamped cloth with gilt titles on the spine, slightly duller than when new and a little light spotting on back board. original cream endpapers, a very nice clean copy with crisp pages and binding not sprung. Small octavo. 1867. * The two French Catholic Christian missionary's travelled through China and parts of Tartary and spent about a year in Tibet (the first Europeans for about 50 years), learning the language and transcribing old texts. Thrown out of Tibet in 1846 Abbe Gabet went back to Europe in 1846 and died in Rio in 1852 whilst Huc stayed in China returning to Europe in poor health in 1852. Huc's works are written in a lucid, spicy, picturesque style, securing for them an unusual degree of popularity. However, his esteem for Tibetan manners and religion was not welcomed by his Church: "The late Abbé Huc pointed out the similarities between the Buddhist and Roman Catholic ceremonials with such a naïveté, that, to his surprise, he found his delightful 'Travels in Thibet' placed on the 'Index of banned books". 1st edition for younger readers originally published in 1851 in English. Like a novel more than a travelogue.
