Description

* This is the fully illustrated edition, annotated with an extensive biography of the author. 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 first 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.
