What it's about
Through the Heart of Afghanistan is the English translation by B. K. Featherstone of Emil Trinkler’s 1927 German work Quer durch Afghanistan nach Indien. The book chronicles Trinkler’s 1923–24 journey from Riga, Latvia, through Russia, and into Afghanistan, where he traveled to Herat, Kabul, central Afghanistan, Peshawar, and the Bamian Valley. Trinkler documents the geography, culture, and social life of the region, including the impact of Amir Amanullah Khan’s modernization efforts, German engineering projects, and medical missions. Richly illustrated with 44 photographs and a fold-out map, the book blends exploration, scientific observation, and ethnographic insight into early 20th-century Afghanistan.
