{"product_id":"9780007367757","title":"A Short Walk in the Hindu Kush","description":"The view was colossal. Below us on every side mountain surged away it seemed forever; we looked down on glaciers and snow-covered peaks that perhaps no one has ever seen before, except from the air.'\u003cp\u003eFeeling restless in the world of London's high-fashion industry, Eric Newby asked a friend to accompany him on a mountain-climbing expedition in the wild and remote Hindu Kush, in north-eastern Afghanistan. And so they went - although they did stop first for four days of climbing lessons in Wales - becoming the first Englishmen to visit this spectacular region for more than half a century. Newby's frank and funny account of their expedition to what is still amongst the world's most isolated areas is one of the classics of travel writing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47011088892144,"sku":"9780007367757","price":16.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780007367757_p0.jpg?v=1763616990","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780007367757","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
