Eric Newby is one of those canonical travel writers I've never quite got round to reading. He's also A Short Walk in the Hindu Kush right? In my mind he's aligned with somebody like, say, Robert Byron. Can you recommend an entry point? (And if you haven't read Byron's Road to Oxiana I cannot recommend it highly enough)

I loved Love and War - every time I travel through Italy I think of it, can totally recommend
Yep, same author! Hindu Kush is one of my faves, but Love and War is fantastic so far. IтАЩd say that either would be a great intro to his work.
