When I am ready to read To The Forbiddden Land, selected and adopted from Sven Hendin's Writings, again, I shall endeavour to answer the questions in the back. Originally published in 1934, the copy i have is from the 'First AES Reprint' (Asian Educational Services, New Delhi, 1988) It is an exciting read; I picked it up for $5 last week, and with some emphasis on how many horses and other pack animals died on the journey as to that however exciting it may sound, it was also very dangerous. His descriptions of peoples and their characteristics; logs of dangerous expeditions, of 'loud' auditory remembrances and of nature with a somewhat 'florid' style works. In the short biography at the back his writings obviously amount to quite a few including his autobiography.
