Description:
A delightful collection of letters written on travels around the Cape of Good Hope to Kolkata and then to Shimla and central Asia over several years beginning in 1828. Victor Jacquemont himself is perceptive and witty. There's also an amusing subplot: Jacquemont's London editor competes with his Parisian counterpart.
