Sobre este artículo
Henry Holt & Co, New York, 1997. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine Condition/Fine. First impression. Size: Octavo 8vo (standard book size). 253 pages. Text body is clean, and free from previous owner annotation, underlining and highlighting. Binding is tight, covers and spine fully intact. No foxing in this copy. Dust Jacket is in very good condition, without tears or chips or other damage. Dust Jacket un-clipped. All edges clean, neat and free of foxing. Seizing the barest of opportunities to explore deep into occupied Tibet, Michel Peissel accomplished what scores of Western explorers had tried and failed to do for more than 100 years: to find the source of the Mekong River, in the ice-strewn fields on the "roof of the world." Peissel's account of his 1994 expedition into Qinghai Province is so intrinsically exciting that this story cannot fail to grip the reader's imagination.... The Last Barbarians certainly has its moments; it ought to be read, but one always feels that he missed many of the chances his experience gave him to have made it far better. Quantity Available: 1. Category: Travel & Places; History. ISBN: 0805045341. ISBN/EAN: 9780805045345. Pictures of this item not already displayed here available upon request. Inventory No: 3226. . 9780805045345
