The travellers' tales in this volume are organised by geographical region, and then by period: so, under 'Central Asia and India' we find Fâxiân (a Buddhist monk) travelling in 399CE; Alexandra David-Neel, entering Tibet in disguise in 1924; and missionary Mildred Cable, travelling to Huozhou in 1901. ( no spoilers! )
(Note that we are prying: Montaigne did not intend his travel journal for publication, but it is too rich a document to be forgotten, and we will be discreet.) [loc. 2529]
