Ruins of Desert Cathay: Personal Narrative of Explorations in Central Asia and Westernmost China - Ruins of Desert Cathay 2 Volume Set
M. Aurel Stein
In this two-volume work, published in 1912, the Hungarian-born archaeologist Marc Aurel Stein (1862–1943) describes his second expedition to the deserts of Chinese Turkestan in 1906–8. Written for a non-specialist readership, and highly illustrated, Stein's account of his expedition and discoveries in the Dunhuang caves makes for fascinating reading.
