Over the course of several months during 1931 & 1932, Robert Byron journeyed to three countries teetering on the brink of change. In Russia, which was stricken by famine, Lenin had just died, Stalin`s dictatorship was in its infancy & the Great Terror was yet to begin. Having taken the first commercial flight to India, which took a week, Byron was thrown into the tumultuous last years of the British Raj. Gandhi was imprisoned while rioting & clashes between Hindus & Muslims had become commonplace. Finally Byron entered Tibet, the forbidden country. Exploring the Land of Snows, he saw Tibet as it was when the then Dalai Lama was still ensconced in the Potala Palace, twenty years before China`s invasion. Blending classic travel writing with passionate observations on the deeper political & social issues of the time, Byron writes with uncanny prescience of the eventual horrors of the Soviet Union & the downfall of the Raj. As a piece of travel literature, ” First Russia, Then Tibet” is compelling & beautifully-written. As a portrait of these countries in the 1930s, it is invaluable. Ultimately, it illuminates the constant quest for meaning that underscored Robert Byron`s life & travels. ...
