Sobre este artículo
London: Harper Collins, 1994. A Fine unmarked copy with no inscriptions with Fine dustjacket which is not price clipped. xii + 278 pages. 33 illustrations. 2 maps. Pictorial endpapers. The author, an intrepid young student of Central Asian art and archaeology, set off in late 1989 to explore - far from the famous 'Silk Road' of Marco Polo - an area that is closed to Westerners as wellas to most Chinese, and one which is firmly under military rule. A daring quest for the ancient kingdom of Shanshan, in the remote, forbidden and perilous desert region of southern Xianjiang in China. Her goal was Miran, the ancient Buddhist site of fabulous second century wall paintings left untouched until the beginning of the 20th century. The last Westerner to set foot in Miran was Sir Aurel Stein in 1914. **** A HEAVY VOLUME OF 0.83 KILO WHICH MAY REQUIRE ADDITIONAL SHIPPING COST **** L. First Edition. Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
