Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Through the Heart of Asia, Vol. 1 of 2: Over the Pamïr to India
Add to this that Central Asia has a very glorious past, by which I mean that it has been traversed by the most illustrious conqueror of antiquity, by the greatest of the Moguls, and that it has given birth to a formidable man who, lame as he was, made all Europe to tremble. It could not but be interesting to visit the arena upon which warriors such as these had made their evolutions and to follow the track of their armies; it was interesting, too, to see what remained of their work, and what had become of the workmen with whom they achieved such great things.
