A great inspiration to me personally, author Eric Newby led a grand adventurous life.
On World Hum’s list of the top 30 travel books of all time, Newby’s “A Short Walk in the Hindu Kush ranked No. 17.
It is a brilliant book. I often reflect back on his hillarious account of crossing paths with the ultimate adventurer Wilfred Thesiger who he joins in the great adventure beyond. Thesiger died in 2003.
