This is the story of Eric Newby's trip to the hinterlands of Asia, trekking through the Himalayas, Afghanistan and Nuristan. It is a classic travel book in the 'got bored with working in a shop and buggered off to the back of beyond, don't you know' style. Extremely engaging and fascinating, with a healthy respect for the wilderness, despite a certain naivety about how hard it would actually be. Just as the travellers reach the limits of their endurance, they bump into another traveller of godlike stature who has an alternative view of their adventure.
