A Ride to Khiva: Travels and Adventures in Central Asia (Classic Reprint)

Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book plunges into the heart of 19th century Central Asia, offering a unique glimpse into a region at the crossroads of empires. The author recounts his personal journey to Khiva, a khanate that was then a hotbed of international intrigue as Russiaââ â¢s influence expanded eastward. The narrative is richly detailed, taking readers through the authorââ â¢s preparations for the perilous journey, offering intimate observations of Russian society and culture, and revealing the tensions and anxieties surrounding the growing power of the Tsar. The book goes beyond simply describing the authorââ â¢s travelogue, delving into the political and strategic dimensions of the ââ Å"Great Gameââ  played out between Britain and Russia in this region. The author keenly observes the Russian governmentââ â¢s desire to control Central Asia, while noting the British governmentââ â¢s seeming indifference to its strategic implications. He questions Russian motivations for restricting foreign travel to the region, exploring the potential reasons behind this seemingly inexplicable move. The book explores the intersection of politics, religion, and social dynamics in a time of immense change, offering valuable insights into the ambitions and anxieties of the period. The author's firsthand account of Russia's territorial expansion and the potential threat to British India, a topic of great debate in the late 19th century, provides a compelling historical document that speaks to the lasting influence of geopolitics on global power dynamics. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781330482711_0
