Beskrivelse
For thousands of years, pilgrims have wound their way along the ancient trade routes of the Silk Road to worship at the holy mountains of Asia. With Unblest Feet is the story of an intrepid journey through the sacred mountains of China, Tibet, Kyrgyzstan, Iran and Turkey. Against a backdrop of rising religious tension, Iain Campbell treks to some of the most far-flung, mystical places on earth. On the way, he encounters the astonishingly diverse range of people who still live, work and travel in such isolated places - monks, pilgrims, tourists, opportunists, and assorted hangers on... Iain Campbell has been fascinated by mountains for as long as he can remember, and has travelled widely in the mountains of his home country of Scotland and further afield. He studied history at Oxford University where he specialised in medieval religious history. In 2002 he decided to combine these interests by travelling to the holy mountains of Asia. He lives with his family in Edinburgh and continues to travel frequently to Asia. This is his first book.
