She was a woman alone in a country where few men dared to venture, in a culture governed by seldom~kept laws. By camel, horse, foot, and caravan, she crossed Iraq's desert, impassable mountain ranges, and the colorful cities of Baghdad, Larti, and Teheran to her final destination: the Throne of Solomon. Accompanied by the opium~entranced Keram Khan, one~eyed Alidad, quiltmaker Shah Riza, and the sullen Hajji, she sought out ancient castles, a buried treasure, and prehistoric graves in the Valleys of the Assassins, the hidden home of a Persian sect of murderers. Along the way, she befriended the philosophers, shahs, robbers, child~brides, and holy men who populate the countryside. Originally published in 1936, The Valleys of the Assassins is a remarkable travel odyssey. This is its first American publication. "This adventure that she has so magnificently recounted may be read with joy. A rare and delightful book." "At rare intervals a book of travel appears with the authentic stamp of a, classic permanence. Here is such a book. It will be just as good a hundred years from now as it is now." "About once in a century the small shores and moist airs of these islands produce a traveller of genius, whose spirit is drawn to deserts, and burning suns, and who has the rare gift of being able to interpret the experience. Such a one is Freya Stark.". …
