The Explorer's Roadmap to National-Socialism
Whilst terms such as Lebensraum are commonly associated with National-Socialist ideology of the 1930s and 40s, ideas of racial living space were in fact generated in the previous decades by an international geographic community of explorers and academics. Focusing on one of the most influential figures within this group, Sven Hedin, this is the first study that systematically connects the geographic community to the intellectual history of the development of National-Socialist ideology and genocidal practices. The book demonstrates how colonial, racial and nationalistic policies were often spearheaded by explorers and geographers such as Hedin. In Germany, Britain, France, and Russia their p...
My Life as an Explorer
FROM THE SILK ROAD AND TIBET, THE EPIC MEMOIR OF A BESTSELLING ADVENTUREOver the course of three decades, Sven Hedin traveled the ancient Silk Road, discovered long-lost cities, mapped previously uncharted rivers, and saw more of "the roof of the world" than any European before him. This epic memoir captures the splendor of now-vanished civilizations, the excitement ofunearthing ancient monuments, the chilling terrors of snow-clogged mountain passes, and the parching agony of the desert. A worldwide bestseller in the 1920s, it today introduces a new generation to a man of exceptional daring and accomplishment. The book is illustrated with 160 of Hedin's owndrawings.

The Wandering Lake
The third in Sven Hedin's Central Asia trilogy, The Wandering Lake is arguably his most famous work and a rare account of a now-vanished world. The lake of Lop Nur, the 'heart of the heart of Asia', is one of the world's strangest phenomena. Situated in the wild Chinese province of Xinjiang, Lop Nur - 'the wandering lake'- has for millennia been in a perpetual state of flux, drifting north to south, often tens of kilometres in as many years. It was once the lifeblood of the great Silk Road kingdom of Loulan, which flourished in this otherwise barren region 2,000 years ago, and its peculiar movements confused even Ptolemy, who marked the lake twice on his map of Asia. Following 'the pulse-bea...
Sven Hedin, Nobleman
Excerpt from Sven Hedin, Nobleman: An Open Letter From K. G. Ossiannilsson "Sven Hedin, nobleman!" and the motto "Noblesse oblige," which appears on the titlepage, are intended to suggest that the famous Swedish explorer does indeed possess itoble rank but not the chivalrous qualities of a nobleman. The book explains on what grounds the author bases this conviction. Sven Hedin's blindness to all the havoc wrought by the German armies in Belgium, his deafness to the sufferings of both Belgians and Armenians, his one-sided admiration for everything which Germany or her vassal Turkey has done, are here exposed in the most uncompromising terms. Mr. Ossiannilsson is skilled in the use of irony, a...
