Beschreibung zu „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.
Évariste Régis Huc, or Abbé 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.
This book includes the second part of the Abbé'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.
