2020. Paperback. New. About the Book :- The book is an account of travelogue and was first published in London in 1840. It contains 12 chapters and has 20 illustrations including maps showing the route tables by the author. It covers Ghuzni, Kabul, Afghanistan and includes information about Rajput Singhs. The author has preserved the fine illustrations from drawings which he did on his own on the spot. The important events which have lately taken place in Afghanistan determined him to publish his Travels in that country, in a first and separate volume; and to reserve, for a subsequent work, those parts of his manuscript which relate to Kashmir, Great and Little Tibet, the mountain-banks of the Indus, and Alpine India north of the Punjab. He has made his remarks without the smallest regard to party considerations. He has only to add, that he has generally followed the latest and most approved method of spelling Asiatic names and words, by the substitution of Italian for English double vowels. The book is good and worth reading. About the Author :- Godfrey Thomas Vigne was an English amateur cricketer and traveller. Vigne left England for Persia in 1831, and then travelled to India. He spent the next seven years travelling in north west India and Central Asia. Between 1835 and 1838 he travelled extensively in Kashmir and Ladakh and was the first European known to have visited Baltistan. He was the first to describe Nanga Parbat. In 1836 Vigne visited Afghanistan, and met the emir, Dost Mohammed. He was said to be the first Englishman to have visited Kabul. After 1852 Vigne travelled in Mexico, Nicaragua, the West Indies and the United States. He published several books describing his travels.

This new book looks at the development of climbing on the world’s highest mountains – the 14 whose summits stand above the 8000 metre contour. Though concentrating on the new millennium, from 2000 to 2011, with an epilogue on 2011, the book also covers the first ascent of the mountains, and the new routes climbed between the first ascent and 1999. A sequel to On Top of the World, published in 2000 which dealt with the discovery and early climbing history of the mountains, the book also uses new material which has come to light over the last decade to re-appraise the first ascents on Annapurna, Broad Peak and K2. Illustrated with stunning images for the new routes established during the new millennium, the book also includes archival shots from the early history of the mountains. These archival shots include first ascent shots from two of the mountains which had not been made available for the earlier book. The book is completed with data on the mountains provided by co-author Eberhard Jurgalski, who maintains the world’s most up-to-date database on these (and other) mountains. The data include all climbers who have summitted all 14 mountains (a figure which now stands at an astonishing 28) as well as those who are nearing the complete set. Sadly some of the latter have died in the attempt and will never achieve their goal. Printed in the UK to a high quality.. Glacier Books are experienced and professional booksellers.
