Arminius Vambery His Life And Adventures Written By Himself

About the Book : The author has made a noble attempt to highlight a strictly personal narrative of his Travels and Adventures in Asia and in Europe. They make no pretence whatever to be a geographical and ethnological description of the actual Central Asia. Upon these points recent works have greatly added to the knowledge we possessed twenty years ago, when he performed his dangerous pilgrimage from Budapest to Samarkand. A r?sum? of the various publications of Russian, English, French and German travellers in this region would have formed a separate book, but these have nothing to do with the variegated adventures of his own career, of which he proposes to give the first complete picture to the English reader.
