Detailed Product Description
New York, 1984, Hippocrene edition. 429 pp. Travels of an Englishman in Russian Turkestan in 1875; a Central Asian classic. Blue cloth with gold lettering. Hardcover, Fine.
With an introduction describing the character of Fred Burnaby, written by Eric Newby (author of
A Short Walk in the Hindu Kush
) with Map.
Frederick Gustavus Burnaby -- soldier, traveler, writer, and pioneer balloonist -- set out on an unofficial mission in 1875 to investigate the motives behind Russias exclusion of foreigners from Central Asia. A real-life adventure story, A Ride to Khiva recounts Captain Burnabys excursion in vivid detail, reflecting the hardship and humor of his exciting travels. Forced to travel in winter, Burnaby journeyed through blizzards and
snowdrifts to reach the mysterious caravan city of Khiva. Along the way he describes his many adventures, extending from surviving the Cossacks treatments for frostbite to taking tea with the Khan. Burnaby's account of his "one-man Great Game" mission was hugely successful, reprinting eleven times in its first year of publication and
A Ride to Khiva
continues to make fascinating reading today.
