A Ride Through Islam - A Journey Through Persia and Afghanistan to India in 1873
Seldom does an equestrian travel tale require its readers to exert more intellectual caution than this superbly written book.

The Dervish Bowl
A narrative of the life of Arminius Vámbéry. Who was Arminius Vámbéry? A poverty-stricken, Jewish autodidact; a linguist, traveler, and writer—or a sometime Zionist, inspiration for Dracula’s nemesis, and British secret agent?
