He is here concerned, however, not with the major issues of politics, but with people and places, and he tells with humor of the unforeseen setbacks that trouble the traveler, and especially the traveler in out of the way places. Peter Fleming was born on 31 May 1907, married Celia Johnson, actress, in 1935, and has a son and two daughters. He was educated at Eton and at Christ Church, Oxford. He gained a First in English Literature, besides being President of the O.U.D.S. and Editor of Isis. After a brief sojourn in a New York business house, he joined an expedition which was supposed to be going to look for a lost captain in Brazil. This resulted in his first book, Brazilian Adventure, which has been translated into almost every European language except Irish. Before the last war he travelled widely in East and Central Asia as a Special Correspondent of The [London] Times. He served in the Grenadier Guards during the war ? in Norway, Greece, S.E.A.C. ? and later commanded the 4th Battalion of the Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Light Infantry (T.A.). He was High Sheriff of Oxfordshire in 1952. His favourite recreations are shooting and riding.

Hard Cover. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. New One Volume Edition 1941 Published by The Reprint Society Ltd. by Arrangement with Jonathan Cape Ltd. Deep red cloth boards, gilt spine titles on black field, light shelf wear. Pages near fine; attractively toned. Bind fine; hinges intact. Map endpapers at front and back of Eastern Asia, routes taken for each title, and vertical scale of the monumental topography. One's Company details Fleming's first journey through Asia beginning in Soviet Russia, leading down through China, past Formos and ending in Japan. News from Tartary: A Journey from Peking to Kashmir, first published in 1936, is a landmark work of real-life adventures by Peter Fleming describing his journey through time, space, and the political milieu of Turkestan. This region or empire known as Tartary stretching below Siberia from Turkey through to India is historically known as Grand Tartary and was essentially excised from history in the nineteenth century. Fleming, brother of Ian Fleming 007 lore, is more than a travel writer. He was a seeker and adventurer describing a riding tour from Peking to India in 1930's Asia. Fleming reflects on enduring the seven month journey across 3,700 miles of desert and upland through towering mountains, ice and sand, hunger and thirst. Fleming's political and cultural insights are considerable. The volume's entertainment value immense as it arouses great fury and much pleasure. An epic adventure of immense depth, yet easily digestible. Peter Fleming's account of this seven-month journey across Central Asia, while a special correspondent for The Times of London, has become a work of reference for the early twentieth century and prior. A classic tale of travel and travail. Printed in Great Britain in the City of Oxford at the Alden Press. Detailed index for News from Tartary at back. 599 pages. Insured post. Size: 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" Tall.
