In his introduction to his book of reminiscences,'Tales of Travel' (1923),Curzon wrote: 'It gave me greater pleasure to be awarded the Gold Medal of the Royal Geographical Society for exploration and research than it did to become a Minister of the Crown.' After india,travel was his greatest love.Before he was thirty years old he had been twice round the world,supporting himself by writing for The Times. No traveller of the period had a prose style to match that of Curzon,nor did they have his wit.It is these qualities,coupled with Curzon's fascinating experiences in remote and exotic places,that make 'Travels with a Superior Person' both the quintessence of late-Victorian travel-writing and a delight for modern readers. Here we have the pick of Curzon the traveller,extracted from his 'Russian in Central Asia' (1889),'Tales of Travel' (1923),and 'Leaves from a Viceroy's Note-book' (1926).We have brief anecdotes: Curzon pilfering a top hat in Teheran; impersonating a judge in Milan; or showing the Prince of Wales a naughty picture from Annam.We have rich and poetic descriptive writing: on Japanese Wrestling; the magnificence of the Nile; Greece in the 1880's; and other sublime subjects.We also have Curzon's full and remarkable account of his journey by train in 1888 from London to Samarkand via Berlin,St Petersburg,Moscow,the Caspian Sea,the Oxus,and Bokhara (described here as 'the most interesting city in the world') and on by road to Tashkent. In 'Tales with a Superior Person' the reader is transported by Curzon's superb powers of description,his humour,and the poetry of his flawless prose.The book is also a companion volume to 'A Viceroy's India' (1984) also by Peter King,that contains the best of Curzon's writing on India.
