STEIN, SIR AUREL: ON ALEXANDER'S TRACK TO THE INDUS. Personal Narrative of Explorations on the North-West Frontier of India.
(Edison), Castle Books, (2004). Reprint. Boards, fine in d/w, maps, illust., pp. xiii, 182. ISBN 0-7858-1831-6. ¶ Hungarian archaeologist "... Aurel Stein's account of the expeditions he mounted following in the footsteps of Alexander the Great during the triumphant invasion that, interestingly, left not a trace in Indian literature or tradition. Stein's account has justifiably achieved cult status for the dangers and hardships encountered during his own expeditions; for the light it sheds on Alexander's invasions, and the wonders of Stein's discoveries (such as Alexander's Aornos); the illumination it offers on all fields of interest from archaeology to Indian literary culture, Greco-Buddhist art and the spread of Buddhism right across Asia" (d/w blurb). First published in 1929, the work includes 97 photographs.
