Borderlands of Eternity is a travel memoir written by Edwin John Dingle, chronicling his journey across China on foot in the early 20th century. The book is divided into three parts, with each part covering a different phase of his journey. In the first part, Dingle sets out from Shanghai and travels westward through the Yangtze River Valley, encountering various obstacles and challenges along the way. He describes the landscape, the people he meets, and the customs and traditions of the regions he passes through. The second part of the book covers Dingle's journey through the Tibetan Plateau, where he encounters the unique culture and spirituality of the Tibetan people. He describes his interactions with lamas, or Tibetan monks, and his experiences with Tibetan Buddhism. The final part of the book follows Dingle as he travels through the deserts of Xinjiang and into the westernmost reaches of China. He encounters various ethnic groups, including Uyghurs and Kazakhs, and experiences their cultures and ways of life. Throughout the book, Dingle provides vivid descriptions of the landscapes he travels through, as well as the people and cultures he encounters. He also reflects on the spiritual and philosophical insights he gains from his journey, making Borderlands of Eternity both a travelogue and a spiritual memoir.Complete In One Volume.
