Slowly Down the Ganges

Beschreibung

â Slowly Down the Gangesâ is seen as a vintage Newby masterpiece, alongside â A Short Walk in the Hindu Kushâ and â Love and War in the Apenninesâ . Told with Newby's self-deprecating humour and wry attention to detail, this is a classic of the genre and a window into an enchanting piece of history.
