In August 1933, Robert Byron set off from Venice to view the holy sites and artistic treasures of the Middle East. His account of that scholar’s quest is one of the most eclectic, adventurous and entertaining travel books of all time. From the moment Byron’s charcoal-fuelled Rolls Royce fails to appear in Beirut, to his duplicitous entrance into the forbidden shrine at Meshed, is is a constant joy, as excruciating journeys and breathtaking architecture are recounted with the same life-affirming verve.

****
The Road to Oxiana is a travelogue by Robert Byron, first published in 1937. It is considered by many modern travel writers to be the first example of great travel writing. The word “Oxiana” in the title refers to the region along Afghanistan’s northern border.

The book is an account of Byron’s ten-month journey to the Middle East in 1933-34, initially in the company of Christopher Sykes. It is in the form of a diary with the first entry “Venice, 20 August 1933” after which Byron travelled by ship to the island of Cyprus and then on to the then countries of Palestine, Syria, Iraq, Persia and Afghanistan. The journey ended in Peshawar, India (now part of Pakistan) on 19 June 1934, from where he returned to England.

The primary purpose of the journey was to visit the region’s architectural treasures of which Byron had an extensive knowledge, as evidenced by his observations along the way.

Byron interacted with the locals and negotiated transport, including motor vehicles, horses and asses to carry him on his journey. He encountered heat, cold, hunger and thirst and suffered the inconvenience of bugs, fleas, lice and physical illness.

Writer Paul Fussell wrote that The Road to Oxiana is to the travel book what “Ulysses is to the novel between the wars, and what The Waste Land is to poetry.”

LIČNO PREUZIMANJE:
Lično preuzimanje me deranžira i oduzima mi više vremena od slanja poštom. Stoga se lično mogu preuzeti samo knjige kod kojih je ta opcija ponuđena i to isključivo u ulici Cara Dušana u Novom Sadu, u popodnevnim časovima, uz prethodni poziv da proverite da li sam kod kuće. Ako je za knjigu navedena samo opcija Pošta, lično preuzimanje nije moguće.

STANJE KNJIGE:
Knjiga koju dobijate je ona koja je na slici. Ukoliko nije naznačeno da je knjiga nova ili nekorišćena, ponekad se desi da na predlistu stoji potpis, posveta ili pečat i da to nije navedeno u opisu. Ako vam takve stvari smetaju, pitajte me pre kupovine da proverim.

KOMUNIKACIJA:
Komunikacija ide isključivo preko Kupindo poruka, ne telefonom. Budite normalni.

POPUSTI, CENKANJE I SL.:
Cena je ta koja piše, molim vas da mi ne šaljete pitanja o poslednjoj i zadnjoj ceni. Ne dajem nikakve popuste.

SLANJE:
Knjige šaljem kao tiskovinu ili CC paket nakon uplate na račun. Pakujem ih bezbedno i pažljivo, dobijate ih u stanju u kojem su poslate. Poštarina za jednu pošiljku obično iznosi od 140 do 210 din, u zavisnosti od težine. Ne naplaćujem nikakve troškove pakovanja. Ako se odlučite za post ekspres, imajte u vidu da je ta usluga trenutno dvaput skuplja od tiskovine. Za četiri i više pojedinačno kupljenih knjiga (u to ne spadaju kompleti) ja snosim troškove poštarine. Potrebno je da uplatite/preuzmete knjigu u propisanom roku od 7 dana.

MOJA PONUDA:
Nove knjige postavljam gotovo svaki dan. Možete ih pratiti na ovom linku http://www.limundo.com/Clan/ndi (pritisnite dugme `Prati`)

SUSEDNE ZEMLJE I INOSTRANSTVO:
U inostranstvo se knjige šalju EMS-om. Cenovnik EMS usluga možete proveriti na sajtu Pošte Srbije. Poštarina je visoka i okvirno se kreće od 10-15 eur za prvu knjigu i oko 7 eura za svaku dodatnu. Najisplativije je ako kupujete preko 5-6 knjiga prosečne težine i tada poštarina po knjizi može biti i 5 eura. Za Crnu Goru i BiH novac možete uplatiti PostCash-om u svojoj pošti. Uplata je moguća i PayPalom (+10% na ukupan iznos za pokrivanje njihovih provizija i konverzija), direktno na devizni račun (Wire Transfer), ili preko službe Western Union ili Moneygram. Pitajte pre kupovine koliki su troškovi dostave za inostranstvo, jer su često veći od cene same knjige.

INTERNATIONAL ORDERS:
I will send abroad. For your calculation, one hundred dinars roughly equals $1. Please register here:
