Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
Over the course of three decades, Sven Hedin traveled the ancient Silk Road, discovered long-lost cities, mapped previously uncharted rivers, and saw more of "the roof of the world" than any European before him. This epic memoir captures the splendor of now-vanished civilizations, the excitement of unearthing ancient monuments, the chilling terrors of snow-clogged mountain passes, and the parching agony of the desert. A worldwide bestseller in the 1920s, it today introduces a new generation to a man of exceptional daring and accomplishment. The book is illustrated with 160 of Hedin's own drawings.
Review:
"Truly delightful are the many sketches, the work of Sven Hedin himself."
Saturday Review
Review:"No syllable is wasted....Each sentence is as vibrant as the lilt of a Norse saga."
