This ebook was transcribed by Les Bowler
"Travels in Tartary, Thibet, and China During the years 1844-5-6. Volume 2" by Huc is a travelogue written in the mid-19th century. This work provides an account of the author's explorations in Central Asia, specifically detailing his encounters with various cultures, customs, and landscapes. Huc, a French missionary, documents his travels with a focus on the religious and social practices of the inhabitants he meets, offering insights into both the beauty and challenges of the regions he traverses. At the start of the second volume, the narrative unfolds as Huc and his companions find themselves in Tang-Keou-Eul, a bustling town filled with traders and travelers. They face the dilemma of their onward journey into Thibet, fraught with peril due to brigands and extreme weather conditions. After much deliberation, they decide to study the local language and culture while awaiting a safe opportunity to travel. As they establish themselves in Tang-Keou-Eul, they meet diverse characters, including a group of Tartar-Khalkhas intending to pilgrimage to Lha-Ssa, highlighting the rich tapestry of life along their route. The opening portion sets the stage for the missionaries’ quests in Thibet, showcasing their dedication to understanding the region and its people. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
