Ella Maillart

Forbidden Journey

Buch

In 1935 Ella Maillart contemplated one of the most arduous journeys in the world: the impossible journey from Peking, then a part of Japanese-occupied China, through the distant province of Sinkiang (present day Tukestan), to Kashmir. Traveling along with newswriter Peter Fleming and also her companion Annemarie Schwarzenbach, Maillart undertook a journey considered almost beyond imagination for any European and doubly so for a woman.
