On Alexander's Track to the Indus , first published in 1929, is Aurel Stein's account of the expeditions he mounted following in the footsteps of Alexander the Great during the triumphant invasion that, interestingly, left not a trace in Indian literature or tradition. Stein's account has justifiably achieved cult status for the dangers and hardships encountered during his own expeditions; for the light it sheds on Alexander's invasions, and the wonders of Stein's discoveries (such as Alexander's Aornos); the illumination it offers on all fields of interest from archaeology to Indian literary culture, Graeco-Buddhist art and the spread of Buddhism right across Asia.. NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.

Marc Aurel Stein (1862-1943) was a Hungarian archaeologist who spent much of his life in the service of the British Empire in India. In the early years of the 20th century he conducted a series of important Central Asian expeditions traversing virtually the whole of the North-West frontier - territory not previously accessible to Europeans.
