The Road to Oxiana |
One of the classics of 20th century travel writing : a lighthearted account in diary form of the journey the author took with the writer Christopher Sykes through the Near East, chiefly Persia and Afghanistan, in the early 1930s. Particularly interesting, as a comparison, for anyone who has been in the same region in recent years. (Jeremy Swann - bwl 3 May 2000) |
