Summary: Recommended by Urbana Director Jim Tebbe as a great read. This is a travel narrative written in the 1950s by an Englishman on a mountaineering trip in North-East Afghanistan. Written like a novel, its descriptive power of geography, cultures and peoples are impressive and educational. While you can learn a lot through this book, it is primarily a good read.
