Description

Sent to India aged just sixteen to make his fortune, Alexander Burnes soon revealed an extraordinary talent for languages, combined with a boyish charm, insatiable curiosity, and irrepressible enthusiasm. By the age of 26 he had so impressed his superiors that he was entrusted with the task of delivering a gift of horses from King William IV to the Maharajah of Lahore. In reality he was acting as a diplomat and spy. Having succeeded, he was then dispatched on a much more dangerous mission, to explore the political and ethnic realities amongst the Khanates of Afghanistan and Central Asia. This travelogue brings the heady sense of excitement, risk, and zeal of Alexander Burnes' missions. Read more

I just have been wandering over its pages, but as soon as can will read it, as it seems highly interesting to know more about the "Great game"

    • A fascinating contemporary account of the beginnings of the Great Game
Format: Kindle
Well written and entertaining, Alexander Burnes' tale of his journeys through present day Pakistan and Afghanistan, ending up in the historical city of Bokhara. This book is referred to frequently in Peter Hopkirk's book 'The Great Game'. An exceptional read for anyone interested in the early days of British Colonialism and their competition with Russia for commerce and expansion of influence. ... show more

    • I received only Part 1 of this text--where is Part 2???
This is a fascinating travel account of a hard-to-find book from an author who traveled to the Near East, over a century ago. Unfortunately, the edition I received contained ONLY part 1 of the complete book's text!! What us the explanation for this?? Also the cover was completely different from the one on the book I got--WHAT happened here??? ... show more

    • Great edition to a masterwork of travel writing/human observation
Format: Kindle
A thrill for numismatists and travel buffs alike. Nice edition with explanatory notes. Burnes was a humane man, far ahead of his time. Very readable, not overwrought Victorian prose. Clear and even funny.

    • I am quite satisfied with my purchase
Format: Paperback
The book came in record time. It is a little slow reading because it is written at a different time than now. I am quite satisfied with my purchase.

    • Dry, but fairly adventurous reading!
Format: Kindle
Burnes interest in Afghanistan seduced England into eventual conflict. The story remains unchanged in the region, even today! Be careful what you wish for...
