Members of Shaksgam Expedition : A Passage to India

'Spender cut his tobacco allowance down to one pipeful a day in order to take with him Tolstoy's "War and Peace" and Forster's "A Passage to India". These were a great boon to us in our few bouts of bad weather,though Tilman and I felt ourselves morally obliged to pay with tobacco for the luxury of reading.'

Century: 1900-1945     Reader/Listener/Group: Members of Shaksgam Expedition     Print: Book
