The Heart of a Continent by
Francis Edward Younghusband is an account of three journeys, each an
adventure in itself, which he made into Central Asia from India. During the
years of the Great Game—a political struggle between Britain and
Russia—Younghusband set out on a series of explorations into the heart of
Central Asia. From the mountains of Manchuria to the inhospitable tracts of
Tibet and Turkestan, Younghusband charted courses, dined with Russian
officers and encountered aggressive Hunza raiders. He gleaned insightful
details on the lives of nomadic tribes and dispelled several geographical
myths. A travelogue brimming with tales of pioneering expeditions, The Heart
of a Continent unravels for us a Central Asia that now only lives on in
ancient records.Provides a glimpse into the final decades of British raj from
a Britisher’s perspective. Not limited to the Indo-British political
situation. Discusses the role of political as well as spiritual thought
leaders of that time.
