In breve: This book recounts a trip, taken mostly on bicycle, by a gritty Irishwoman in 1963. Her route was through Yugoslavia, Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and ended in New Delhi. She carried a pistol, got sunstroke, and suffered the usual stomach disorders. She endured bad accommodations but reaped much local hospitality, too, including a dinner with the Pakistani president. Most of the book concerns the high mountain country of Afghanistan and Pakistan. First published in England in 1965, the book is neither current, nor quite old enough to be of much historical interest.

In breve: Burnes agiva come diplomatico e spia. Avendo avuto successo, venne quindi inviato in una missione molto pił pericolosa, per esplorare le realtą politiche ed etniche tra i Khanati dell'Afghanistan e dell'Asia centrale. Questo diario di viaggio porta l'inebriante senso di eccitazione, rischio e zelo delle missioni di Alexander Burnes.
