The early voyages were mostly journeys of pilgrims. Setting all
doubts aside, the travelers braved all odds and obstacles to reach
their destination to further their devotion and faith. This book is
a compendium of the travels of 4 such pilgrims: Hiuen Tsiang,
Saewulf, Ibn Battuta and Ludovico Varthema. Two of these are well
known and the other two the author rescues from oblivion. The first
journey is that of the famous Chinese Hiuen Tsiang, who journeyed
from China over the Himalayas to reach India in the 7th Century
A.D. The second travel, of an English pilgrim to Palestine, was
undertaken in the earliest years of the 12th Century A.D. The third
was the indefatigable Ibn Battuta whose travels that began in first
half of the 13th Century lasted for 24 years. It took him from
Algeria to Peking and Turkistan to Timbuktu. The final notice is of
an Italian from Bologna who in the early 16th Century was the first
European to reach Mecca and then went further on to India and
Malaysia.
