Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. In the summer of 1839, HenryLayardjust twenty-two years oldleft England for eastern Europe and distantlands of the Ottoman Empire. He had never set foot in these regions before andwasnt fluent in their languages. But he would experience one dramatic adventureafter another, narrowly escaping… death, combatting murderous thieves, ridingwith Bakhtiari warriors in Persia, and going on secret missions for the Britishembassy in Turkey. Layard made some of the most importantarchaeology discoveries ever, uncovering the ruins of Nineveh in 1845, as wellas the lost Assyrian capital of Ashur. Its thanks to his secret efforts thatscores of Yezidi refugees were saved from persecution. When he returned toEngland, his personal account of his finds at Nineveh became a bestseller.

His booksand letters draw a picture of a man who deeply respected the lands and cultureshe explored.Using Layards own letters as well as archival materials andnever-before-published documents, author Jeff Pearce captures the life of a manwho was never at rest, whether galloping off with tribal rulers or standing upfor the poor and downtrodden as a British MP. Discover the life of Henry Layardin this gripping tale of astonishing discoveries, swashbuckling exploits, andpolitical intrigue. Lawrence of Arabia meets Indiana Jones in the first biography of archaeologist and adventurer Henry Layard in over 50 years.
