Sven Hedin's Autobiography, on Amazon! (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1568361424/qid=1110390397/sr=8-1/ref=pd_ka_1/002-7467907-8753666?v=glance&s=books&n=507846)
I can only imagine how frustrating that must have been to translate. I get to sit back and go "oh, how awesome!" once you've done all the work of figuring it out. :P
Hedin almost died, too. It's a fantastic chapter. :D And my prof. got stranded around the edges of the desert a few years back and was eventually rescued by some guys and their donkey cart. We were amused by that story.
