About This Item
Freya Stark (1893-1993) a fearless and indomitable traveller. Her unique collection of photographs range from North Africa to the Levant, South Arabia to Turkey, Persia, Soviet Central Asia, China, the Alps, Himalayas, the gorges of the Tigris, the arid wastes of Central Asia and the lush palm groves of the Wadi Hadhramout, the wilds of Kurdistan. She sought hospitality among Shamar Bedouin, Kashgar herdsmen, Kurdish camel-herders and yurt-dwelling Turkomans. Many of her photographs evoke a world now inaccessible. Her godson Malise Ruthven adds to her writings with a short biography.
