The book focuses on Chinese Turkestan approached from Russia through Siberia; from Kashgar and Yarkand the route leads over the Karakoram into Ladakh and the Himalayas and winds up in India. The journey took place in 1873-74, in a period of particularly strong rivalry for hegemony by Russia, Britain and China in the area concerned. The `Great Game` was exacerbated by the exceptional forward thrust of a stately diplomatic mission from British India to Kashgaria. At the same time a gentleman of Independent means arrived at the country ruled by Yakub Beg, feared as a despotic Amir. The traveller came from Hungary in search of populations from which his own people originated. He ran into deep trouble because the locals could neither comprehend his identity, nor understand his motives. He was lucky, however, in obtaining clearance and support from the British envoy and avoid further ignominy by turning South and leaving the region as fast as he could.
