Book Synopsis Adventures in Afghanistan by : Louis Palmer

Download or read book Adventures in Afghanistan written by Louis Palmer. This book was released on 1990. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Soviet troops had "officially" withdrawn, but the country was still in the ravages of war when Louis Palmer ventured into Afghanistan, pursuing legends of a secret knowledge. His story is a fascinating interweave of political and spiritual intrigue. Not unlike Journeys with a Sufi Master, this enthralling book falls into the category described by Shah in The Commanding Self as "designed to produce a certain preparatory climate in the mind of the reader or to inform those who are not able to understand the total implications of a person's function. These books have a value which is not immediately obvious, but which is useful in many ways.... Those who are prepared to see the 'wave as an aspect of the sea' can learn that the book, a part of its content, is a stepping-stone to something else."

Book Synopsis Travels in Afghanistan by : Ernest Fox

Download or read book Travels in Afghanistan written by Ernest Fox. This book was released on 2001-08-01. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was 1937 and few places on Earth were more remote than Afghanistan. Into this hermit kingdom went Ernest Fox. Technically searching for oil and gemstones for the Afghan king, the American engineer discovered a countryside unchanged since the days of Marco Polo. For a year Fox rode a series of local horses through the mountains, valleys, and deserts of this forbidden realm, visiting such fabled places as the medieval city of Herat, the towering Hindu Kush mountains, and the legendary Khyber Pass. The equestrian engineer thus spent an exciting time on his sojourn, exploring a country which had been a highway for history since the days of Alexander the Great. Travels in Afghanistan was compiled from the field notes, maps and sketches Fox brought back from his 2,000 mile horse back adventure. A lively and adventure-filled book, it provides a geographical and historical sketch of Afghanistan, her various people, and a way of life that was destroyed in the late twentieth century. Amply illustrated, it remains a timeless classic.
