Book News Annotation:

Unfolds the remarkable story of a shy outsider whose lifetime of dedication revealed to the world the glories of the Silk Road. For 30 years, this archaeologist led the race to uncover a long-lost Buddhist civilization which had lain for a thousand years beneath China's deserts. In all, Stein marched some 25,000 miles across Central Asia, accompanied always by a small fox-terrier. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews@booknews.com)

Synopsis:

For 30 years, brilliant archaeologist Sir Aurel Stein led the race to uncover a long-lost Buddhist civilization. "A delightful biography . . . (and) an unforgettable picture of this angular, indomitable man, with his faithful dog and his band of servants, tramping Asia from Syria to Xian in search of the secrets of the past".--THE LONDON INDEPENDENT. 29 photos.
