Souvenirs D'un Voyage Dans La Tartarie Le Thibet Et La Chine: Pendant Les Annees 1844, 1845 Et 1846 Volume Vol. 2nd

About the Book: This 2 volume work in the French language is the travelogue of two French travelers who travelled to Tibet between 1844 and 1846, to propagate the Gospel, and to convert the Dalai Lama to Christianity. About the Author: Évariste Régis Huc was a French Catholic priest, Lazarite missionary, and traveller. He became famous for his accounts of Qing-era China, Mongolia (then known as "Tartary"), and especially the then-almost-unknown Tibet in his book Remembrances of a Journey in Tartary, Tibet, and China. He and his companion Joseph Gabet were the first Europeans who had reached Lhasa since Thomas Manning in 1812. Huc's intention was to travel from China to Lhasa, and from there to India. This work prepared him for his journey to Tibet in 1844 at the instigation of the vicar apostolic of Mongolia. By September 1844 he reached Dolon Nor and made arrangements for his journey. Soon after, accompanied by his fellow-Vincentian, Joseph Gabet, and a young Mongour priest who had embraced Christianity, he set out. To escape attention the party assumed the dress of lamas or priests. Crossing the Yellow River, they advanced into the terrible sandy tract known as the Ordos Desert. After suffering dreadfully from want of water and fuel they entered Gansu, having recrossed the flooded Yellow River.
