AMONG THE MOUNTAINS: TRAVELS THROUGH ASIA

Book ID/图书代码： 03540004B04877

English Summary/英文概要： ’I felt an uplift of spirit. Never had I seen such country.’ This was Thesiger’s reaction to his first sight of snow-capped mountain ranges and Iraqi Kurdistan. The legendary explorer has always been attracted to mountains. In the course of thirty years he fulfilled his dreams of travelling in the awesome ranges of the Karakorams, the Hindu Kush and in Ladakh, visiting Chitral, where the people of the Black Kafir valley still worshipped pagan gods, and wild, untravelled Nuristan.
Drawing on his unpublished diaries. Thesiger brilliantly documents the hardships, dangers and rewards of mountain travel. Each of his journeys has a unique quality, captured in some of the finest photographs he has ever taken – images of startling beauty, many of which are reproduced here for the first time.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： [我的精神为之一振。我不曾见过这种乡野景色。]威瑞福.塞西格首次登上中亚库德斯坦覆雪的山头时这么说。这样的山景对这位探险家仿如致命的吸引力，一次又一次地牵引着他回到中亚群山的怀抱中。他在一九五0年首度造访库德斯坦，一九五二年游历契特拉，一九五三年进入亨札，一九五四年踏遍哈札拉贾特，一九五六年深入努里斯坦，一九六五年再探努里斯坦；至一九八三年塞西格时龄七十三岁、仍与致勃勃地旅行在拉达克山间。一九九七年，高龄八十七岁的塞西格提笔写下近五十年前展开的一系列中亚之旅，文中对于人事物的描述犹历历在目，仿佛岁月停步，时间不曾逸飞！阅读此书不仅可一觉今日早已不存的中亚民族特色，伸游壮丽殊诡的崇山峻岭：更值得的是，一窥这位当代探险家的伟大传奇。
