Clouds In The East: Travels And Adventures On The Perso-Turkoman Frontier (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781163293607)

""Clouds in the East: Travels and Adventures on the Perso-Turkoman Frontier"" is a travelogue written by Valentine Baker, an English soldier and adventurer, about his experiences in the Middle East during the late 19th century. The book details his travels through Persia (modern-day Iran) and Turkmenistan, where he encountered various tribes and their customs, as well as the political and social landscape of the region. Baker provides vivid descriptions of the landscapes, people, and cultures he encountered, and offers insights into the complex relationships between the different ethnic and religious groups in the area. He also recounts his own adventures, including a daring escape from captivity at the hands of Turkmen raiders. ""Clouds in the East"" offers a fascinating glimpse into a region that was largely unknown to Western audiences at the time, and remains a valuable historical document today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
