Central Asian travel

Book

The reader holds a special book in his hands, as this volume is now being published for the second time since its original publication. Vámbé1y, believing that the long economic and statistical descriptions included in his book had lost their relevance due to the Russian conquest, edited a travelogue from his original work, focusing primarily on his personal experiences, and this spread throughout the world. This was published several times in Hungarian under the title: Dervisruhában KözépAzsián át.
However, time is a strange thing: What became worthless in its time, historical distance makes interesting to us again. The outdated geographical and statistical descriptions have become a valuable historical source, which will certainly be used with great benefit by researchers of the era.
As for the remaining parts of the work, its main lines are the same as the material in the already well-known Dervisruhában.
