The Country of the Turkomans: An Anthology of Exploration from the Royal Geographical Society

Description:

An anthology of travellers' tales and essays from the records of the Royal Geographical Society, is centred on a small area of Central Asia, a region of desert, mountains and rivers. From Colonel Jackson's brilliant essay on the literature of travel to the humour of O'Donovan, pioneer and war correspondent; from Arminius Vambery, the most adventurous philologist in history to Kazi Syud Ahmad, Napier's Turkoman guide, each author brings his own flavour to this book.
