Description: A Short Walk in the Hindu Kush by Eric Newby. Illustrations are photographs from Newby's collection. Introduction by Richard Grant. Afterword by Hugh Carless. Bound in cloth blocked with an illustration of the peaks in the Hindu Kush. 232pp. 9¾x7¾in. Travelling amongst fiercely independent tribespeople in wildly inaccessible territory, Newby experiences a region and a way of life that have since been catapulted into prominence in world affairs. He memorably reflects as he stands in ‘one of the lonely places of the earth with all the winds of Asia droning over it, where the mountains seemed like the bones of the earth breaking through, I had the sensation of emerging from a country that would continue to exist more or less unchanged whatever disasters overtook the rest of mankind. Please look closely at the photos as they are part of the description. Will wrap and pack very carefully. Will post worldwide. Any questions please ask. In the unlikely event you do encounter a problem, please do message me first to resolve it, and I will do my best to help.All the books are stored in our smoke-free, climate-controlled shop in Surbiton, Londo
