Publisher's Synopsis

""Through Deserts and Oases of Central Asia"" is a travelogue written by Ella Sykes, chronicling her journey through the remote and rugged regions of Central Asia in the early 20th century. The book offers a vivid and detailed account of Sykes' travels, which took her through the deserts and oases of modern-day Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, and Iran. Along the way, she encounters a diverse array of people, from nomadic tribes to wealthy merchants, and experiences the rich cultural heritage of the region, including its art, music, and architecture. Sykes also provides valuable insights into the political and social landscape of Central Asia during this time, shedding light on the complex relationships between various ethnic groups and the colonial powers vying for control of the region. Written with a keen eye for detail and a deep appreciation for the beauty and complexity of Central Asia, ""Through Deserts and Oases of Central Asia"" offers a fascinating glimpse into a world that is both exotic and familiar, and remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history and culture of this fascinating region.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
