At twenty-two, William Dalrymple left Cambridge to search for the ruins of Kublai Khan's palace in Xanadu. The book recounts that journey across Asia, along forgotten roads, through towns and cities full of unexpected hospitality, in a tone that combines humor and erudition in the tradition of British travel writing.
The Flamingo edition was published in 1999; the subtitle 'A Quest' appears on the cover.
For readers of travel literature and Asian history, especially those who appreciate first-person adventure chronicles.
William Benedict Hamilton-Dalrymple is a Scottish historian, art historian, indologist, curator, broadcaster, critic and author.
