5.0 out of 5 stars
Two travellers on an epic journey in an antique land,
By A Customer
This review is from: Travels in Tartary, Thibet and China, 1844-1846 (Paperback)
I got this book because I was researching central Asia, and then didn't read it for a couple of years. When I finally did, I couldn't put it down. This is a true account by two French priests who travelled by camel and horse, first to Mongolia and then to Tibet in the 1840s. What they saw and did is fabulously interesting, but the joy of this book is that it's wonderfully written. Huc, who actually wrote it, is a kind of 19th Century Paul Theroux, but without the sour attitude. This book is a great read
