Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Through Jade Gate and Central Asia' is a compelling firsthand account of the extensive travels undertaken by Mildred Cable and her companions through the remote and rugged landscapes of Northwestern China and Central Asia. This narrative chronicles their journey across the Gobi Desert, the G…ansu corridor, and into the heart of Turkestan during the early 20th century.As one of the few Western women to traverse the 'Jade Gate'-the ancient and symbolic boundary of the Great Wall-Cable provides a unique perspective on the cultures, geography, and spiritual climate of the Silk Road regions. The work blends travelogue with ethnographic observation, detailing encounters with diverse ethnic groups and the daily challenges of navigating one of the world's most inhospitable terrains. Beyond its geographical scope, the book reflects the adventurous spirit of the authors, offering deep insights into the historical and social complexities of a region that remained largely inaccessible to Westerners at the time. 'Through Jade Gate and Central Asia' remains a significant contribution to the literature of exploration and a vivid portrait of Central Asia during a period of profound historical transition.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
