Description
In Xanadu A Quest is a travelogue that recounts William Dalrymple's journey to the ruins of Kublai Khan's stately pleasure dome in Xanadu. At just 22 years old, Dalrymple embarked on an adventure across Asia, tracing dusty roads and discovering unexpected hospitality in villages and cities.
With a blend of humour, knowledge, poetry, and wit, this book tells the story of a quest that took him to Coleridge's Xanadu itself. Told with eloquence and flair, it is an account of a journey that has become a benchmark for British travel writing.
