Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'Larson Duke of Mongolia' is a captivating firsthand account of the life and adventures of Frans August Larson, a man who navigated the vast landscapes of Central Asia during a period of profound social and political transition. Appointed a Duke by the Mongolian ruler, Larson provides an in…timate perspective on the customs, nomadic traditions, and daily life of the Mongolian people at the turn of the 20th century.The narrative follows his journey from a Swedish missionary to a trusted advisor and businessman, offering unique insights into the Gobi Desert, the intricacies of local governance, and the challenges of travel across the high steppes. This memoir stands as a significant historical document, blending personal anecdote with cultural observation to paint a vivid picture of a world rarely seen by outsiders. Larson's deep respect for the land and its inhabitants shines through his descriptions of horsemanship, spiritual practices, and the shifting geopolitical climate of Inner Asia. Readers interested in exploration, Central Asian history, and remarkable life stories will find this work to be an invaluable resource and a compelling window into a bygone era.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Add to basketEA. schiefgelesen, Bindung lockert sich, Buchschnitt lichtrandig, 237 S., Ganzleinen-Einband, geb. Mit 14 Bildern, hier publiziert mit Genehmigung des Staatlichen Museums für Völkerkunde (Berlin). Larson (1870-1957) nennt sich hier auf dem Vorsatz "Herzog der Mongolei", er verbrachte 46 Jahre in diesem Land und verfasste den ers…ten Reisebericht. Der junge Larson "bewarb sich bei einer amerikanischen Missionsgesellschaft Christian and Missionary Alliance, die in China und der Mongolei arbeitete wohle mehr aus Abenteuerlist denn aus religiöser Begeisterung. 1893 kam er als 23-Jähriger als der erste Missionar dieser Gesellschaft in die Mongolei. Er reiste von Tientsin über Beijing nach Paotao einen großen Teil der über 1000 Kilometer zu Fuß. Im Ordosgebiet lernte er einen Prinzen kennen, der ihm einen Lehrer für die mongolische Sprache vermittelte. Einigermaßen des Mongolischen mächtig zog er dann nach Urga (Heute: Ulanbaatar). Ein Jahr später ließ er sich in Kalgan (Zhangjiakou) an der chinesisch-mongolischen Grenze nieder, wo er die amerikanische Missionarin Mary Rogers 1897 heiratete. Kalgan, etwa 140 km nordwestlich von Peking liegt am Anfang der mongolischen Hochebene und war ein wichtiger Handelsknoten für den Karawanenverkehr westlich nach Sinkiang und nördlich nach Urga und Russland. Viele Europäer, die in der Mongolei zu tun hatten, lernten dort Larson kennen. Für mehrere Jahrzehnte war er einer der wichtigsten Kontaktpersonen, Gewährsmänner und Unterstützer von Personen wie Sven Hedin oder dem späteren US-amerikanischen Präsidenten Herbert Hoover, der damals als Ingenieur eine Eisenbahnlinie zwischen Beijing und der mongolischen Grenze projektierte", wie es auf der Internetseite Munx-Tenger heisst. Aus dem Englischen übertragen von Ruth Andreas-Friedrich (1901-1977), einer Widerstandskämpferin gegen den Nationalsozialismus (Gruppe "Onkel Emil"), die vor allem als Schriftstellerin und Journalistin wirkte. Gramm 600.
