...Nous sommes toujours en pleine sauvagerie, mais les indigènes vivent dans les maisons, avec les apparences d'un commencement de civilisation: ils soignent mieux la terre, ils engraissent leurs champs, où nous voyons des tas de cendres et de terre rapportée. Ils s'habillent d'étoffes, leurs femmes portent presque toutes des colliers de verroteries; ils ont les cheveux plus courts, ils les coupent souvent à ras des épaules; leurs femmes les rognent sur le front, à la chien, et elles ne les tressent plus sur le dos en minces cordelettes; les gens armés sont plus rares, comme si la sécurité était plus grande que dans les contrées situées à l'ouest...

L'Asie centrale, que nous venons de parcourir pour la seconde fois, a toujours exercé sur nous une grande attraction. Cela s'explique. cette région de la terre est faite de contrastes: on y trouve dans les déserts les plus affreux des oasis d'une fertilité grande; on s'y heurte à des villes retentissant des bruits agréables de la vie au sortir des solitudes que la profondeur du silence grandit en quelque sorte; le voyageur, dont la bouche est amère encore de l'eau saumâtre puisée aux citernes de la steppe aride, rencontre soudain des fleuves ayant l'allure majestueuse de mers qui s'en vont et où il boit la meilleure eau du monde; après avoir parcouru des plaines infinies, il arrive au pied de montagnes dont l'oeil peut à peine découvrir les cimes qui se cachent dans les hauteurs du ciel. S'il a le courage de franchir cette barrière, en grimpant des sentiers difficiles, il se trouve au milieu d'un océan de montagnes d'où il craint de ne pouvoir sortir, et s'il monte et descend des semaines, des mois de suite, n'apercevant du ciel parfois qu'un tout petit coin bleu, s'il se dirige du côté où le soleil se dresse chaque matin, il finit par aboutir à un pays où les cours d'eau abondent, où des hommes nus cultivent, avec des animaux énormes, des terres d'une richesse incroyable...

The French explorer, author and legislator Gabriel Bonvalot (1853-1933) received funding from the French government to lead two expeditions to Central Asia in the 1880s. This two-volume English translation by C. B. Pitman of the French original was published in 1889 and is a richly illustrated account of the second of the two Asian expeditions, in which Bonvalot and the scientist Guillaume Capus attempted to enter Afghanistan. Although the party was detained and sent back to Samarkand upon entering Afghanistan, they refused to concede defeat, as Bonvalot was determined to reach India via a trail believed to run across the Pamir and Hindu Kush mountains. In Volume 1, Bonvalot describes the journey from Marseille via Tehran to Samarkand, interspersing his narrative with observations of the climate and culture they encounter. At the Afghan border, guards warn that 'they will hack us to pieces and throw our bodies into the stream'.
