Book
Hardcover/gebunden. Condition: gut. 1.-7. Tausend. Fadengehefteter Pappeinband mit marmoriertem Deckelpapier, goldgeprägtem Titelrückenschild, illustrierten Vorsätzen (Karten) und Lesebändchen im fotografisch gestalteten Schuber. Der Schuber berieben bzw. mit kleinen Abrieben, mit leichten Kratzern und einem kleinen Randeinriss, die Einbandkanten dezent berieben, ansonsten guter Erhaltungszustand. Gesetzt aus der Korpus Modern Nr. 1 Monotype und auf einer Condor-Schnellpresse vom Bleisatz gedruckt auf das holz- und säurefreie mattgeglättete 100g/qm Bücherpapier der Papierfabrik Niefern. "Im Februar 1935 brach ein junger Engländer zu einer Reise auf, die ihn von Peking durch die Wüsten und Sümpfe von Sinkiang und über die verschneiten Pässe des Pamir bis ins damals noch britische Kaschmir führen sollte. Begleitet von einer mutigen Frau - natürlich im strikten Zölibat - war er fast 6000 Kilometer und sieben Monate lang unterwegs, auf asthmatischen Eisenbahnen, mit Rikschas und Lastwagen, auf dem Rücken von Maultieren und tibetanischen Ponies und notfalls zu Fuß. "Wir maßen keine Schädel und lasen keine Barometerstände ab. Wir wollten herausfinden, was in Sinkiang oder Chinesisch-Turkestan vor sich ging. Acht Jahre zuvor hatte zum ersten Mal ein Reisender diese abgelegene Provinz durchquert. Inzwischen war ein Bürgerkrieg aufgeflammt und (so hofften wir jedenfalls) wieder erloschen. Niemand kam hinein. Niemand kam heraus. Im Jahre 1935 teilten sich Sinkiang und der Gipfel des Everest das Blaue Band der Unzugänglichkeit. Außerdem wollten wir reisen, weil wir glaubten, daß es uns Spaß machen würde. Wir sollten Recht behalten". Es war ein exzentrisches Vergnügen. Die Reisenden begegneten Nomaden, Händlern, Räubern, Abenteurern, Generälen und Spionen. Ihre Strapazen ertrugen sie mit Humor, Understatement und der berühmten stiff upper lip. Tataren-Nachrichten gilt in England als ein Klassiker der Reiseliteratur; das Buch hat seit 1936 über zwanzig Auflagen erlebt, und ein Ende seiner Popularität ist nicht abzusehen." (Verlagstext) Peter Fleming (* 31. Mai 1907 in London; gestorben 18. August 1971 in Argyll) war ein britischer Schriftsteller. Der Sohn des britischen Unterhausabgeordneten Valentine Fleming wurde insbesondere durch seine Reiseliteratur bekannt, in der Südamerika und Asien den Schwerpunkt bildeten. Nach ihm ist der Peter Fleming Award benannt. Sein Bruder, Ian Fleming, war der Autor der James-Bond-Romane. Die Andere Bibliothek ist eine bibliophile Buchreihe, die von 1985 bis 2004 von Hans Magnus Enzensberger herausgegeben und von Franz Greno gestaltet wurde. Von Oktober 2007 bis Ende 2010 waren Michael Naumann und Klaus Harpprecht als Herausgeber tätig. Ab 2011 ging die Programmleitung auf Christian Döring über, der die Reihe bereits seit Herbst 2009 als Lektor begleitet hatte. Im Juli 2023 übernahmen Julia Franck und Rainer Wieland die Herausgeberschaft. (Wikipedia) In deutscher Sprache. 390, (6), 24 [Tafeln] pages. 8° (128 x 217mm).
