Arminus Vambery was a Hungarian traveller who lived between 1832 and 1913. His life was one of wander and wonder. A linguist and a master of disguise, he often roamed with the native tribes as one of their own. He travelled extensively in the Middle East and Central Asia. This book is a collection of his experiences and provides a sketch of the places and the people he visited. Gifted with a keen eye, Vambery successfully paints a vivid and entertaining picture?of?his?travels?in?the?latter?half?of?the?nineteenth?century.
Arminius Vambery was born in a poor Jewish family in Hungary. In school he showed a remarkable aptitude for languages. By the age of sixteen he was proficient in Hungarian, Latin, French and German and very soon acquired skill in English, Scandinavian, Russian and Serbian?languages.
