Mongolia V2: The Tangut Country And The Solitudes Of Northern Tibet is a travelogue written by Nikolay Przhevalsky, a Russian explorer who spent three years travelling in Eastern High Asia in the late 19th century. The book is a detailed account of his journey through Mongolia, the Tangut Country, and the northern regions of Tibet. In the book, Przhevalsky describes the landscape, people, and culture of the regions he visited, as well as the flora and fauna he encountered. He also provides insights into the political and social situation of the area, including the conflicts between various tribes and the influence of the Chinese government. The book is divided into chapters, each of which covers a different part of the journey. Przhevalsky's writing is vivid and descriptive, and he provides many illustrations and maps to help readers visualize the places he visited. Overall, Mongolia V2: The Tangut Country And The Solitudes Of Northern Tibet is a fascinating account of a little-known part of the world, written by an intrepid explorer who was one of the first Europeans to travel extensively in the region. It is a must-read for anyone interested in travel, history, or geography.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
