Arminins Vambery was a Hungarian Traveler who lived between 1832 and 1913 He is one of those travelers who are slightly unknown in the list of honour. His life was one of wander and wonder: he was a linguist and a master of disguise and often roamed with the native tribes as one of their own. He traveled extensively in the Middle East and Central Asia. This book is a collection of his experiences and gives a sketch of the people and place he visited. Anecdotes dot this volume. And gifted with a keen eye, Vambery succeeds in painting a TRUE and entertaining picture of his travels.
