The Golden Caravan

Fifty years of travel and adventure, of writing and teaching, are spanned in this selection by the prominent Afghan author Sirdar Ikbal Ali Shah. The whole flavour of the East is here: Hajis rub shoulders with Bolsheviks; Sultans with Sufis; Colonial Officers with alchemists. The Golden Caravan will take you to Turkestan, and to Egypt, to the Himalayas and the Khyber Pass. Whether you want to escape into a different magical world, or to give yourself a briefing on one of various Eastern societies, The Golden Caravan will not disappoint. Like the author’s other two dozen books, it is regarded as a classic.
