Through the Heart of Afghanistan is an English translation of Emil Trinkler's Quer durch Afghanistan nach Indien, published in Berlin in 1927. Trinkler (1896-1931) was a German geographer and explorer who went to Afghanistan in 1923-24 as a geologist for the German-Afghan Trading Company. The book is an account of Trinkler's voyage, which began in Riga, Latvia, and included a trip by train across Russia followed by a seven-week delay at the Russian-Afghan border. Trinkler eventually succeeded in entering Afghanistan and traveled on to India. The book contains vivid accounts of the places he visited, including Herat, central Afghanistan, Kabul, Peshawar, and the "Valley of the Great Buddha," where Trinkler viewed the large, rock Buddhist statues of Bamian (destroyed by the Afghan Taliban in 2001). The chapter on Kabul describes the opening up of the country brought about by the amir, Amanullah Khan (ruled 1919-29), and the work of German architects and engineers in building roads, of the German medical mission🌟 Prepare for an extraordinary experience from January 25, 2025 to January 25, 2025 at The Center for the Performing Arts - Tarkington Theater.
