Ebook About William Dalrymple’s award-winning first book: his classic, fiercely intelligent and wonderfully entertaining account of his journey across Marco Polo’s 700-year-old route from Jerusalem to Xanadu, the summer palace of Kubla Khan. At the age of twenty-two, Dalrymple left his college in Cambridge to travel to the ruins of Kubla Khan’s stately pleasure dome in Xanadu. As he and his companions travel across the width of Asia—crossing through Acre, Aleppo, Tabriz, Tashkurgan, and other mysterious and sometimes hellish places—they encounter dusty, forgotten roads, unexpected hospitality, and difficult challenges. Stylish, witty, and knowledgeable about everything from the dreaded order of Assassins to the hidden origins of the Three Magi, this is travel writing at its best.Book In Xanadu Review :
I quite enjoyed this, the second of Dalymple's books I've read. It suffered a bit from comparison with From the Holy Mountain, the work of a more mature, observant, but no less intrepid writer. I also found myself shocked by a passage that seemed to embody the attitude of a 19th century British missionary: "The village was poorer than any we had seen in Persia, but to European eyes it was infintely preferable. The faces of the men were craggy and rugged, and had none of the effeminacy of the Persians. There was a restrained dignity in their bearing. They regarded us with only casual curiosity and with none of the self-demeaning humility of most Indians." Ugh... Maybe he has come to his senses now, after all he was only 22 when he embarked on this historical journey following the footsteps of Marco Polo. This journey was crazy, with literally no budget, not much planning, not knowing where they will even spend the night or how they will get to their next stop. He was accompanied by two female companions Laura (from Jerusalem to Lahore) and Louisa (from Lahore to Xanadu) who were also equally crazy. However, thanks to them we get a highly entertaining and informative book about the regions and countries they traveled through. They mostly slept in run down cheap hotels with appalling conditions, hitch-hiked for the most part and ate street food. The only two stops where they encountered some luxury was a week-long stay at Dalrymple's friend's mansion in Lahore, where he switched companions and a State Guest House near the Indus River along Karakorum Highway Pakistan where they twisted the truth to get in. Other than those two locations, you mostly feel sorry for these poor travelers and are thoroughly entertained during the whole process. I think they should do an encore journey (from 1986 to present day), that book would probably be less entertaining but still informative.
