From Tonkin to India by the Sources of the Irawadi, January '95-January '96 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from From Tonkin to India by the Sources of the Irawadi, January '95-January '96
Such were the general outlines of our journey. For an undertaking of this magnitude all available subsidiary chances should be assured. One important factor was uncertain, - time. Roux had only a year's leave; and as this would not suffice, it was imperative that he should be seconded for colonial service of indefinite duration. Given this, and resolution, there seemed to be good hope of ultimate success.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents an in-depth account of an adventurous expedition undertaken by three Frenchmen, Henri d'Orleans, Gabriel Bonvalot, and Pierre Henry, across uncharted territory in Central Asia in the late 19th century. Despite facing formidable geographical and political challenges, they ventured into the remote regions of Tibet, China, and India, driven by a thirst for discovery and a deep fascination for the diverse cultures they encountered along the way. Their journey took them through breathtaking landscapes, from the towering Himalayas to the arid Gobi Desert, where they encountered a myriad of ethnic groups, each with unique customs and traditions. The author provides insightful observations on the political and social landscapes of the time, shedding light on the complex interactions between different civilizations. The book is not just a travelogue but also a valuable historical record, offering a glimpse into a bygone era of exploration and cross-cultural exchange.
