From a springboard of Siberian territories acquired gradually over the previous three centuries, discovery and expansion radiated from the...

Scottish explorer and author James Baillie Fraser (1783 1856) was already known for his narratives of travel in the East (his 1820 journal of a journey through the Himalayas being also reissued in this series) when in 1826 he published this account of his journey into the lesser known provinces of Persia. Though it includes an appendix containing information on geology and commerce, it dwells less on statistical and historical details than it does on the author's personal experiences and impressions. In his preface, Fraser summarily rejects factual material as 'insignificant', preferring to...

Przez Urianchaj i Mongolię TW
ISBN: 9788375651836 / Polski / Twarda / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Książka Przez Urianchaj i Mongolię jest literackim owocem przeprawy Karola Giżyckiego przez Środkową Azję. W odróżnieniu od podróżującego w tym samym czasie po tym rejonie świata Ferdynanda Ossendowskiego, który opisał swe wrażenia w książce Przez kraj ludzi, zwierząt i bogów, Giżycki ściśle trzyma się faktów i nie ubarwia rzeczywistości. Jest mistrzem opisów przyrody i bystrym obserwatorem ludzkich zachowań. Niektóre z podpatrzonych przezeń scenek mówią o życiu ówczesnej Mongolii więcej niż niejedno naukowe opracowanie. Niniejsze wydanie książki...
