Western exploration of the Arabian Desert began in the mid-eighteenth century, but it was not until the nineteenth century that the British officers of the Indian colonial government undertook surveys of the areas remote from the major pilgrimage routes. Charles Doughty (1843 1926) spent two years among various nomad tribes and wrote in 1888 what would be the first comprehensive Western work on the geography of Arabia, in an attempt, as he says in the preface, to 'set forth faithfully some parcel of the soil of Arabia smelling of samn and camels'. His classic and justly famous account is a...

ISBN: 9788364523229 / Polski / Miękka / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. „Nie ma nic dobrego w wojnie. Z wyjątkiem jej końca” – stwierdził niegdyś Abraham Lincoln, prezydent Stanów Zjednoczonych.

A Voyage Into the Levant: Perform'd by Command of the Late French King

Joseph Pitton de Tournefort (1656 1708) was originally destined for the church, but his interest in botany led him to become professor of botany at the Jardin des plantes in Paris, and to travel all over Europe and beyond in search of interesting specimens.

Cabool: Being a Personal Narrative of a Journey To, and Residence in That City, in the Years 1836, 7, and 8
ISBN: 9781108075374 / Angielski / Miękka / 440 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the long and often disastrous history of British entanglement in Afghanistan, the name of Alexander Burnes (1805 41) deserves to be remembered.

(Burnes' 1834 account of this journey is also reissued in this series.) In 1836, he was sent to Kabul, and became involved in the British plan to...

Turkish Awakening: Behind the Scenes of Modern Turkey
ISBN: 9780571296583 / Angielski / Miękka / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. When Alev Scott moved to Istanbul to explore her family's heritage, she didn't know what to expect from this colorful nation at the edge of the Middle East.

Moving from booming Istanbul to the historically diverse villages of the south-east, and caught up in the protests of 2013, Alev saw from the inside how constantly surprising this remarkable country can be.

Tambora
ISBN: 9780992355845 / Angielski / Miękka / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the best tradition of Paul Theroux and J. Maarten Troost, comes Derek Pugh's torrid tale of Sumbawa, and his ascent of the iconic volcano Mt. Tambora, whose 1815 eruption did indeed change the world. Pugh's account of the eruption and its aftermath is masterfully done - clearly the product of much dogged research through archives, scientific journals, as well as conversations with Indonesians lasting long into the steamy night. Himself a long-time resident of the neighboring Indonesian island of Lombok, Pugh is a well-qualified tourist who also brings a wry and rollicking insider's account...

The traveller and archaeologist Sir Charles Fellows (1799 1860) made several trips through Asia Minor.

From Pekin to Calais by Land
ISBN: 9781108084635 / Angielski / Miękka / 692 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This 1889 book describes an unusual overland journey from Beijing to Calais, undertaken in 1887 by Harry de Windt (1856 1933), an explorer and travel writer, who later went from Paris to New York, also (mostly) by land. From a military family, he was the brother-in-law and aide-de-camp of Charles Brooke, the Rajah of Sarawak, but his official duties left him with plenty of time for eye-catching journeys like this one. His only guidebook was John Bell's 1763 account of travelling from St Petersburg to Beijing across Siberia, but with advice on the route from a Russian embassy official, de...
