Book excerpt: Eastward to Tartary, Robert Kaplan's first book to focus on a single region since his bestselling Balkan Ghosts, introduces readers to an explosive and little-known part of the world destined to become a tinderbox of the future. Kaplan takes us on a spellbinding journey into the heart of a volatile region, stretching from Hungary and Romania to the far shores of the oil-rich Caspian Sea. Through dramatic stories of unforgettable characters, Kaplan illuminates the tragic history of this unstable area that he describes as the new fault line between East and West.

The result is must reading for anyone concerned about the state of our world in the decades to come.

Download or read book High Tartary Classic Reprint written by Owen Lattimore and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-16 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from High Tartary Ch'eng-tze I went on to Urumchi and after some delay got a mes sage through to my wife, who had been waiting in Peking for the news that I had crossed Mongolia. Within a few days after hearing from me, she started out to travel alone through Siberia to join me, and succeeded in doing so after a journey SO difficult and uncertain that it required far more enterprise and hardihood than a man would need to travel through Mongolia. I have not said anything about her experiences at Kuei-hua, where we had parted when I set out into Mongolia, and have given only the barest sketch of her journey through Siberia, with its culminating seventeen days by sled across four hundred miles of snow, be cause she has described some of these things herself,1 and will describe them all.

Download or read book Mountains of Tartary written by Eric Shipton and published by Vertebrate Publishing. This book was released on 2015-08-25 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Mountains of Tartary , mountaineering and explorer Eric Shipton describes his climbs and explorations in northern and central Asia, taking the reader places that most would otherwise never go and writing with humour and self-deprecation. During the Second World War, and up until 1951, Shipton worked as consul general in Kunming and Kashgar in China, and as a diplomat in Hungary and Persia. In Mountains of Tartary, he describes his climbs and explorations that take him from the barren steppes of central Asia, to glass-clear lakes and forested slopes. Shipton and his party enjoy varying degrees of hospitality from the local people and occasionally potentially dangerous encounters. The book details the exploits of the climbers, explorers and guides, including a hilarious drunken banquet with government officials. Mountains of Tartary is like a postcard from history – a must-read for any keen climber, walker or explorer.

He is the first recorded foreigner to have crossed the Gashun Gobi from north to south.
