Transhimalaja: Löytöjä ja seikkailuja Tibetissä. 1 (of 2) by Sven Anders Hedin
"Transhimalaja: Löytöjä ja seikkailuja Tibetissä. 1" by Sven Anders Hedin is a travel narrative written in the early 20th century. The work chronicles Hedin’s journeys and discoveries in Tibet, exploring both its rugged landscapes and the challenges he faces as a Western explorer in a mysterious and largely uncharted land. At the start of the narrative, Hedin reflects on his past expeditions and expresses a deep longing to return to Tibet, an
area he believes is full of undiscovered wonders. He describes his preparations for the journey, his communications with political figures, and the obstacles he faces in obtaining permission to cross into Tibet. The opening chapters also set the scene for his travels in India, where he interacts with local officials and begins to outline the logistical intricacies involved in organizing the expedition, hinting at the broader political tensions surrounding access to the region.
