Although Lockhart had visited parts of the Hindu-Kush in 1885, Robertson was the first to spend a significant period of time in the region, and to record details of the daily lives and social characteristics of the Kafirs and the geography of this isolated region. This is the only full record of the religion and customs of the Kafirs before they were forcibly converted to Islam by Abdur Rahman.
Robertson, the British "agent" in charge, was the first European to spend time in this area of what is now the border between Afghanistan and Pakistan. He provides rich details of the culture of these tribes before they were forced to convert to Islam by Abdur Rahman. This is an exceedingly isolated region that well now offers hospitality to Bin Laden. The present work is a record of Journey of Geogre Scott Robertson to Kafiristan during 1890-91. He was then a British Agent at Gilgit. This work also describes the wild and interesting inhabitants that he encountered during his one-year journey in the Hindu-kush. (T-CA)

Il Libro è, anch’esso, uno straordinario ambasciatore, che consente di far giungere fin nei luoghi più lontani il riverbero delle opere del pensiero e delle creazioni dell’arte.
