PDF A Ride to Khiva: Travels and Adventures in Central Asia with FREE EASY Reading!

Able to speak seven languages, including Russian and French which were spoken by the lower and upper class respectively in Russia, he planned a trip from London to Khiva in the winter of 1875. Meticulous planning was necessary, including permission from the Russian authorities to travel to the city Khiva, which was strictly off limits to the English. Barnaby's writing style, now considered old fashioned, makes light of the hardships he faced in the coldest time of the year to cross the Steppes, however is absolutely captivating in his witty descriptions of the terrific cold, the landscape, the people and the Russian culture. Once the authorities discovered he had visited Khiva and met the Khan, they ordered him to return immediately. He wrote the book on his return to England.
