Recollections of a Journey Through Tartary, Thibet, and China: During the Years 1844-1846 is a travelogue written by Evariste Regis Huc in 1860. The book recounts Huc's travels through the regions of Tartary (present-day Mongolia), Thibet (present-day Tibet), and China in the mid-19th century. Huc was a French missionary who undertook this journey with his fellow missionary, Joseph Gabet. Their aim was to spread Christianity in these regions and establish a mission. The book describes their experiences as they journeyed through these remote and unfamiliar lands, encountering various cultures, customs, and people. The book provides a detailed and vivid account of the landscapes, flora, and fauna of the regions they traversed, including the deserts, mountains, and rivers. Huc also describes the architecture, art, and religion of the various communities they visited, providing insights into their beliefs and practices. The book is a valuable historical document, as it provides a glimpse into the political and social conditions of these regions during the mid-19th century. It also sheds light on the challenges faced by Christian missionaries in spreading their faith in these lands. Overall, Recollections of a Journey Through Tartary, Thibet, and China is an engaging and informative travelogue that offers readers a fascinating glimpse into the cultures and landscapes of some of the most remote and mysterious regions of the world.Two Volumes In One.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
