Résumé

Résumé : "Across Coveted Lands" by Arnold Henry Savage Landor is a detailed account of the author's overland journey from Flushing in Holland to Calcutta, traversing through various regions including Russia and Persia. The narrative begins with Landor's experiences in Russia, highlighting the challenges and peculiarities of Russian customs and railway travel. He describes the cultural and historical richness of cities like Warsaw and Kiev, noting the intellectual and religious significance of these places. The journey continues through the vast Russian steppes to Baku, where Landor provides an insightful look into the oil industry and the socio-economic conditions of the region. Upon reaching the Caspian Sea, Landor faces the unpredictable nature of travel, dealing with storms and the complexities of landing in Persia. His observations in Persia are vivid, capturing the essence of local life, the bustling bazaars, and the intricate social dynamics. Landor's interactions with the Persian people reveal a society deeply rooted in tradition yet influenced by foreign trade, particularly with Russia and Britain. The narrative is enriched with descriptions of the landscape, architecture, and the challenges of navigating through a land where modernity and tradition coexist. Landor's journey is not just a physical traversal but also an exploration of cultural and economic exchanges between the East and the West. His keen observations and detailed descriptions provide a comprehensive understanding of the regions he traverses, making "Across Coveted Lands" a valuable resource for those interested in the historical and cultural landscapes of early 20th-century Eurasia.
