An account of travels in Afghanistan in the late 1960s (in the company of a young Bruce Chatwin) by the poet, classicist and Jesuit priest Peter Levi. He and Chatwin search out the heritage of Alexander the Great, Moghul rulers, and Buddhist monks in this elegantly written, learned account of archaeology and adventure in Afghanistan. Levi includes chapters on the now-destroyed monumental Buddhas of Bamiyan in the Hindu Kush, Nuristan, Ay Khanoum and the north.  (CAS72, $18.95)
