Feeling restless in the world of London's high-fashion
industry, Eric Newby asked an old friend to accompany him on
a mountain-climbing expedition in the wild and remote Hindu
Kush, in north-eastern Afghanistan. And so they went -
although they did stop first for four days of climbing
lessons in Wales - becoming the first Englishmen to visit
this spectacular region for more than half a century.
Newby's frank and funny account of their expedition to what
is still amongst the world's most isolated areas is one of
the classics of travel writing.
