Henry Lansdell was one of the great travellers of the Victorian
age. Unlike many explorers of the time, Lansdell was open to
different cultures and his travels yielded detailed accounts that
were free from the racial and religious prejudices typical of the
period. Chinese Central Asia recounts Lansdell's 9,000-mile journey
across the Tian Shan Mountains and into Western China, and
describes the peoples he encountered, their history and religion,
crafts and customs, modes of dress, natural history, trade and
medicine. The two-volume set provides the first account in the
English language of Chinese Turkestan, contains an extensive
bibliography of more than 750 books and includes a new introduction
by Irina Kantarbaeva-Bill.
