The Quest for Forbidden Lands: Nikolai Przhevalskii and his Followers on Inner Asian Tracks is a collection of biographical essays of outstanding Russian explorers of Inner Asia of the late nineteenth – early twentieth century, Nikolai Przhevalskii, Vsevolod Roborovskii, Mikhail Pevtsov, Petr Kozlov, Grigorii Grumm-Grzhimailo and Bronislav Grombchevskii, almost all senior army officers. Their expeditions were organized by the Imperial Russian Geographical Society with some assistance from the military department with a view of exploring and mapping the vast uncharted territories of Inner Asia, being the Western periphery of the Manchu-Chinese Empire. The journeys of these pioneers were a great success and gained world renown for their many discoveries and the valuable collections they brought from the region.

Recenzii

"[...] an extremely useful introduction to the broader place of Przhevalskii’s explorations [...] The Quest for Forbidden Lands admirably succeeds in its stated mission of introducing to a wider audience the influence of Przhevalskii on the expeditions of a range of scientists and geographers, while simultaneously placing his expeditions in a greater context. Seven maps of expeditions, along with countless pertinent drawings and photographs, richly enhance this volume." - Helen Hundley, Wichita State University, in: The Russian Review 78.2 (2019), p.340
