I just finished your book In The Empire of Genghis Khan. I turned the last page and was disappointed to find the story was over. What an incredible journey through such an inticing landscape. Thank you for sharing your experience. I was completely engaged.
Just read your piece in the Australian today (saturday 29 Nov) titled ‘A rebirth in Rome’ Stunning prose! Now off to search out your books. “Che bella”
I read your Frontiers of Heaven with enjoyment while travelling recently in Xinjiang. I have a question about the rifle you mention was presented to the Mir of Hunza by Curzon in 1903.You have called it a Smith & Wesson, but as far as l know S&W began making rifles much later. Did you mean a Winchester?
Just read the first paragraph of your article in Cond Nast traveler. The way you wrote about the empress riding her donkey brought tears to my eyes 💕. Beautiful
Stanley, thank you for your story on and about Baracoa. It to is my favorite place in Cuba. Just over a year ago, I left that small town after 6 days. I didn’t want to leave. The people, the music, the food, the artists, the hiking and beaches. The barbershop for a haircut one day, a shave another and especially the peoples stories. Another memory was going to the baseball stadium to work out with the people. Everything about Baracoa puts you in a place where you just feel good.
