Travels In Tartary, Thibet, And China, Volume II

* This is the annotated and fully illustrated version including an extensive biography of the author and many drawings showing the stages of the journey. &t;br/&t; ?variste R?gis Huc, or Abb? Huc, (1813-1860) was a French missionary traveller, famous for his accounts of China, Tartary and Tibet. Since the travels of the Englishman, Thomas Manning, in Tibet (1811-1812), no European had visited Lhasa. Huc stimulated European interest in Central Asia and blazed a trail for Asian studies. &t;br/&t; This book includes the second part of the Abb?'s travels in that region from 1844 to 1856. It leaves stunning pictures of a world few people have ever seen. It is fully illustrated and comes with an interactive table-of-contents for easy browsing.
