A much belated introduction to Robert Byron after my summer 'travel-reading'. Here's an excerpt from his First Russia, Then Tibet, from the first chapter ''The New Jerusalem'
"Should any echo of the laughter provoked by my journeys reach the ears of my Russian friends, they will be able to ignore, or at best pity, such irreverence. Levity is the music that accompanies the European's whoring after false gods, gods which, in fact- and all fact is Marxist- do not exist."
