First published in 1931.
Mainly focussing on cultural and geographical aspects, Travels of
an Alchemist are unique in their importance as a source for early
Mongol history, enabling us as they do to fix with certainty the
otherwise obscure and much disputed dates of Chingiz Khan's
movements during his Western campaign. The author, a Taoist doctor,
left some of the most faithful and vivid pictures ever drawn of
nature and society between the Aral and the Yellow Sea.
Waley's introduction provides excellent background information
with which to place the Travels in their appropriate historical,
social and religious setting.
