Sinossi
John Ure has travelled with the Bedouin of the Arabian peninsular, the Moors and Tuareg of the Sahara, migratory pastoral tribes of southern Iran, and the Mongol horsemen and Tartar descendents of Central Asia. He also writes of the eccentric Europeans who sought out nomads - exiles from high society, like Lady Hester Stanhope and the Hon Jane Digby; adventurers Richard Burton and T. E. Lawrence; distinguished figures like Vita Sackville-West, Freya Stark and Bruce Chatwin, and oddities - a tetchy Consul Abbot in Persia, or two missionary ladies in the Gobi Desert. Often stranger than the exotic peoples they visited, John Ure brings them to life with practised skill and humour.

Recensione
Cheerful and engaging, rich in elegant prose and historical anecdote .. (Rory Maclean, The Sunday Times)
Ure's delightful book. . . charts the appeal of nomadic life for generations of European travellers (Christopher Hudson, Daily Mail)
Ure clearly relishes the stories he tells about eccentric British travellers and he is a past master at finding anecdotes to illustrate their peculiar lives & many are extremely funny (Robin Hanbury-Tennison, Country Life)
An excellent collection of travel delicacies. (Stanley Stewart, The Daily Telegraph)
Descrizione del libro
