Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Summer Ride Through Western Tibet So much attention has been attracted recently to Tibet in its military and political aspects that it is hoped that an account of what may be called the domestic details of the western portion of the country, as set forth in the following pages, will be of interest to the general reader. The charm and ease of travelling in Western Tibet, of which I have tried to give an impression, may encourage those who have leisure and opportunity to set out and experience it for themselves. To the Rev. A. H. Francke, an accomplished Tibetan scholar and a keen archaeologist, who is stationed at the Moravian Mission, Khalatse, Ladakh, I owe a debt of gratitude for having drawn my attention to the many ancient remains scattered over the country, and for having awakened my interest in them so much that I was fortunate enough to discover some which are of considerable historical value, and have been hitherto unrecorded. The archaeology of Ladakh and Baltistan is only beginning to be made known to European scholars, and there is undoubtedly a rich field for exploration in these countries.
