xii, 295, [1], 16 pages, Frontis illustration. Map at rear endpaper. Cover has some wear and soiling. Somewhat cocked. Some endpaper discoloration. Some page foxing and discoloration. Ferdynand Antoni Ossendowski (27 May 1876 - 3 January 1945) was a Polish writer, explorer, university professor, and anti-Communist political activist.

With over 70 books published in Poland and translated almost 150 times into 20 other languages, Ossendowski was also the second most popular Polish author abroad, after Henryk Sienkiewicz.…
