Detailed Product Description

1998. 181 pp, color photos.  The author, a well known scholar, mountain climber and traveller, has compiled the fascinating life-stories of a number of well known and less known Nineteenth Century European travellers in the Himalaya and Central Asia.

We meet the Hungarian grammarian and scholar Csoma de Koros, the Englishman Richmond Shakespear, 'Knight Errant in Central Asia' and the famous botanist Joseph Dalton Hooker. Then there are Ashley Eden, whose not so successful forays into Bhutan and Sikkim are well known, as well as the educator William Delafield Arnold who worked mostly in Punjab. And finally we shall meet the Moravian missionaries in Lahoul and Ladakh. New Paperback.
