Narrative Of A Mission Of Bokhara - Joseph Wolff - Bog

""Narrative Of A Mission Of Bokhara: In The Year 1843-1845, To Ascertain The Fate Of Colonel Stoddart And Captain Conolly"" is a historical account written by Joseph Wolff in 1846. The book documents Wolff's journey to Bokhara, a city in present-day Uzbekistan, in an attempt to discover the fate of two British officers, Colonel Stoddart and Captain Conolly, who had been imprisoned there. Wolff, a Jewish missionary and scholar, was appointed by the British government to undertake this mission. He travelled through Persia, Afghanistan, and other regions of Central Asia, encountering various tribes and encountering numerous challenges along the way. The book provides a vivid and detailed account of the people, culture, and geography of the region during the mid-19th century. It also sheds light on the political tensions between Britain and Russia, who were vying for influence in Central Asia at the time. Ultimately, Wolff was able to secure the release of Stoddart and Conolly, but only after they had been executed by the Emir of Bokhara. The book provides a fascinating glimpse into the history of Central Asia and the British Empire's attempts to expand its influence in the region.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
