| Summary | "A Ride to India across Persia and Baluchistán" by Harry De Windt is a travel narrative written in the late 19th century. The book recounts the author's adventurous journey from the Caucasus to India, traversing diverse and often treacherous terrains through Persia and Baluchistán. The narrative is enriched by De Windt's observations and encounters with various cultures and peoples along the way, providing an engaging glimpse into a region rich in history and complexity. At the start of the narrative, De Windt finds himself in Tiflis, the capital of the Caucasus, where his plans to travel to India via a direct route through Central Asia are thwarted by Russian governmental restrictions. Instead, after a somewhat disappointing meeting with a high-ranking official, he pivots his route towards Persia. De Windt describes Tiflis in vivid detail, highlighting the contrasts between its European and Asiatic parts. He is soon joined by Gerôme Realini, a Russian interpreter, who will accompany him on his quest. The narrative captures De Windt's anticipation and the early challenges he faces amid an unforgiving winter, ultimately setting the stage for the adventures that lie ahead as he prepares to journey through difficult landscapes towards India.
