Abstract
WE expect this production will rank as one of the most elaborate books of travel published, both as regards letterpress and the three hundred illustrations, not to mention maps and mountain panoramas. It is indeed worthy of such a leader as Cav. Filippo De Filippi, so well known as a traveller and explorer in the Himalayas, which he first visited as a member of H.R.H. the Duke of the Abruzzi's celebrated expedition to the Baltqro glacier in 1909, of which the author was also the chronicler.
The Italian Expedition to the Himalaya, Karakoram and Eastern Turkestan (1913–1914).
By Filippo De Filippi. With Chapter by G. Dainelli and J. A. Spranger. Pp. xvi + 528 + 20 plates. (London: Edward Arnold and Co., 1932.) 50s. net.
