基本説明

"Travels in Tartary, Thibet, and China" by Evariste Régis Huc, translated by William Hazlitt, offers a detailed account of the author's journey through Central Asia during the years 1844-1846. The narrative begins in Tang-Keou-Eul, a bustling town where Huc and his companion, Gabet, plan their expedition to Lha-Ssa, the capital of Thibet. They encounter various challenges, including the threat of brigands and the harsh conditions of the journey. The text provides vivid descriptions of the people they meet, such as the Tartar-Khalkhas and the Houng-Mao-Eul, highlighting their customs and lifestyles. Huc's interactions with Sandara, a Lama from the Lamasery of Kounboum, offer insights into the religious and cultural practices of the region. The narrative also touches on the socio-political dynamics, such as the influence of the Mussulmen in China and the complex relationship between the Chinese authorities and the local tribes. Through detailed observations and personal experiences, Huc presents a rich tapestry of life in 19th century Central Asia, blending adventure with ethnographic study.
