Описание:
Isabella Bird was the greatest travel writer of the late nineteenth century and she undertook her journey into western Tibet in the early summer of 1889, when she was already in her late fifties. But she was not the slightest bit fazed at the prospect of discomfort and possible death. And nearly die she did, at least once, before the trip was over. Isabella travelled over several months through some of the remotest places on the planet and her descriptions of the journey, the sights she saw and the people she met, transcend the times and continue to entertain and inform.

Описание: The Golden Chersonese is a travel book written by Isabella Bird, the greatest travel writer of the 19th century, and maybe of all time. It recounts her travels in 1883 through southern China and into the interior of the Malay Peninsula--which in the age of Ancient Greece and Rome was known as the Golden Chersonese. It was ground-breaking reportage at the time because many of the places she visited were totally cut off from the outside world.

Описание: A great lady traveller's best known work Isabella Bird was born in 1831 in Cheshire, England became one of a distinguished group of female travellers famous in the nineteenth century-a time when it was considered that a lady's place should be confined to the home. Isabella travelled and explored the world extensively and became a notable writer and natural historian. This book, her fourth and arguably both her best and best known, concerns a journey of 800 miles through the Rocky Mountains. Isabella made the trip on horseback, using a conventional saddle. The American west was still wild in 1873 and Isabella's accounts of the landscape and its frontier's folk are important historical records. Particularly interesting is her relationship with her 'dear desperado, ' the justifiably named Rocky Mountain Jim Nugent who was shot dead a year after their acquaintance.
