Inhaltsangabe

The remarkable Aurel Stein embarked on an expedition to retrace Alexander the Great's triumphant invasion of India. Stein's tale has justifiably achieved cult status for the dangers and hardships he encountered; for the light it sheds on Alexander's journey; and for the information it provides about archeology, art, culture, and religion. Richly illustrated with black-and-white plates and maps drawn by Stein himself. "...a gripping piece of on-the-ground research...Stein's photos are an amazing record of cultures and societies of that fascinating region and his tale is a fantastic journey..."--Michael Wood.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

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.
