Laugh out loud funny travelogue of Middle East to Asian journey
|
| Dalrymple's account of how he duplicated the journey of Marco Polo from Jerusalem to Mongolia is amusingly familiar to anyone who has travelled cross-culturally into Asia. The dramas and the dangers of backpacking haven't changed much since he made his trek in the 1980s, so it remains a relevant read. The historical background is well-researched and fascinating - so little has been written in English that draws comparisons between Western, Greco-Roman history and that of ancient Asian history. This book would be a gem if only for its historical content. As it is also entertaining, it's priceless! |
