A Short Walk in the Hindu Kush by Eric Newby
Eric Newby was a complete novice at mountaineering when a friend persuaded him to quit his job and head for the Hindu Kush in 1956. Their journey took them from London to the wilds of Afghanistan in what has become a travel literature classic.In the year 1919, Eric Newby was born in London. He worked in the fashion industry and book publishing after serving in the Black Watch and the Special Boat Section during WWII, but he was always on the move, occasionally as the Observer's Travel Editor. In 1994, he was knighted, and in 2001, he received the British Guild of Travel Journalists' Lifetime Achievement Award.
